Salters Senior Dog Food 15kg - Free P&P

Salters Senior Dog Food 15kg

Salters Senior is a complete, vet-formulated dry dog food specially designed to meet the changing nutritional needs of older dogs. As dogs age, their metabolism slows and they typically become less active — Salters Senior addresses this with a carefully balanced recipe that is lower in fat and protein than standard adult formulas, helping to support healthy weight management and protect against the health issues associated with excess body weight in senior dogs.

Enriched with extra virgin olive oil for natural fatty acid support, and naturally preserved to guarantee lasting freshness and quality, this highly palatable formula gives your ageing dog the complete, balanced nutrition they need to stay healthy, comfortable and active in their senior years.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should I switch my dog to a senior food?

Most dogs are considered senior from around 7 years of age, though larger breeds may benefit from switching earlier. Signs that it may be time to transition include weight gain, reduced activity levels, stiffness or changes in coat condition. Consult your vet if you're unsure.

Why does my senior dog need lower fat and protein?

As dogs age, their energy requirements decrease and their kidneys may become less efficient at processing high levels of protein. A lower fat and protein recipe helps maintain a healthy weight, reduces the workload on the kidneys and supports overall organ health in older dogs.

What are the benefits of extra virgin olive oil in dog food?

Extra virgin olive oil is a natural source of oleic acid (an omega-9 fatty acid) and antioxidants. In dog food it supports coat condition, skin health and general wellbeing, while also contributing to the palatability of the recipe.

Is this food naturally preserved?

Yes — Salters Senior is naturally preserved, meaning it contains no artificial preservatives. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and quality.

Is Salters a vet-formulated brand?

Yes — Salters Pet Nutrition recipes are vet-formulated, as indicated by the VF Vet Formulated badge on the packaging.
