BookmarkORIJEN SENIOR Formula Dry Dog Food :
Biologically Appropriate for all Breeds
As dogs age, their bodies become less efficient at metabolizing the proteins that are vital to maintaining muscle mass and overall wellness. In additional to increased dietary protein, senior dogs typically require fewer calories than younger dogs, and fewer carbohydrates help improve insulin resistance. Studies show that it is more harmful than it is good to restrict protein in senior dogs, and the high quality proteins are needed for our older pets. Without enough high quality protein present in the diet, senior dogs lose lean body mass, become lethargic and develop a lowered immune system.
To supply the enhanced levels of rich meat proteins needed by elder dogs, ORIJEN SENIOR features the highest inclusions of fresh, never-frozen chicken, turkey, wild-caught fish and fresh whole eggs. Loaded with protein-packed, government-inspected meats (minimum 70%) that form a Biologically Appropriate diet, ORIJEN is free of the grains or excess carbohydrates that are biologically inappropriate for your senior dog.
Recent research has shown that senior dogs with healthy kidneys benefit from higher levels of protein. I fed my 12 y/o Great Dane “Orijen Senior” for about a year. His vet couldn’t believe how young he looked and acted. Eventually, I had to switch to a different brand (which happened to have lower protein) because my dog was allergic to one of the ingredients in Orijen Senior. Since I switched him to the lower protein food a few months ago, he has exhibited visible muscle wasting in his rear end and has lost a great deal of vitality. I can no longer feed him Orijen Senior due to his allergy, but I intend to switch him to another Orijen product as soon as I run out of my current bag of non-Orijen food.
