With age
the stamina and health of any dog decline. Similar to humans, their immune
systems become weaker as well. Slow rate of metabolism demands a reduction in
calorie intake. At Woof Yums, the
cases of senior dogs are considered carefully. Hence, the meals for senior dogs
are prepared with extra caution.
Considering
the breed, age, weight and level of activity of your dog, the Woof Yums’ DOG FEEDING GUIDE provides information on the ideal serving
quantities and feeding intervals for senior dogs. Let us say, one can feed in
one whole suggested serving by dividing it into two small meals (1/3 in morning
and 2/3 in evening). This is subject to level of digestive comfort of your senior pet. However, never follow any food guide without
referring to a vet.
The age
at which any canine should switch to senior diet is depending very much on the
breed and health of the dog. For
instance, although the smaller breeds mature fast, their aging process is much
slower than any giant dog. Any larger breed doggy is categorized as seniors as
soon as they turn 5 or 6. On the contrary, a smaller breed like terrier cannot
be called older till the age of 10 to 12.
Woof Yums understands the importance of correct diet for an aging
dog. Their senior dog food caterings are lower in protein, sodium and
phosphorus to support aging hearts and kidneys. An increased amount of certain
vitamins are also been added to the meals. Not to worry, if your older dog has
any particular health problems including failing kidneys, diabetes or poor nutrient
absorption in his gut, Woof Yums
specific customized caters will help pacifying that problem.
Senior
dogs are prone to obesity which can eventually resulting in many health
problems. Proper feeding, routine veterinary checkups and exercise are the essential
tools to keep them healthy with an increased life expectancy!
Nourish them with Woof Yums!!
