As our dogs grow from playful pups to chilled seniors, they deserve a little extra care to stay happy and healthy. Just like us, their nutritional needs change over time, and while their energy might dip, or they may not move as well as they once did, we can still support them in doing what they love – and feeling great while doing it! That’s where VITAL DOG supplements come in! We’re here to help keep your furry friend feeling their best across their entire lifespan so that their tails stay wagging, and they enjoy their golden years.

Boost your senior dog's health with supplements

VITAL DOG supplements are functional food toppers that enrich their meals and support their health every day in several ways that become increasingly important as they age. With clean, natural ingredients and no fillers, flavours, sweeteners, or synthetics, these supplements offer a simple solution to boosting your dog’s diet.

Why do senior dogs need supplements? 

Now that the bouncy puppy days are long gone, your senior dog might start facing a range of health issues, from joint discomfort to weakened immune systems and dental disease. It can be hard to watch their health deteriorate, but by feeding your  senior dog food supplements, you can help manage some of the most common challenges that older dogs experience.

Senior dog health problems

The supplements that will benefit your senior dog the most are linked to the health problems that they’re most likely to face. Some common health challenges include: 

• Arthritis and joint pain.
• Weight gain.
• Cognitive decline and depressed mood.
• Kidney and liver dysfunction.
• Digestive problems and gut dysbiosis. 
• Skin and coat dryness.
• Reduced immune function.

Benefits of our Multi-Benefit Wellness Blend as a senior dog supplement: 

Joint support

One of the most noticeable signs of ageing in dogs is joint stiffness and arthritis. It can be hard to watch them struggle to get up and down and move around. VITAL DOG supplements include ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin, green-lipped mussel and collagen to support joint health and mobility in senior dogs. 

These biologically-suitable ingredients help to reduce discomfort and improve your dog's mobility, making it easier for them to enjoy their daily walks or climb up to their favourite spot on the couch: right next to you.

Immune system boost

Older dogs can be more susceptible to getting sick as their immune system weakens with age. Our Multi-Benefit Wellness Blend is packed with antioxidants and vitamin A, from sources such as liver and sweet potato, strengthening their immune system to keep them healthier for longer. 

Digestive health

As humans age, our digestive systems become more sensitive, and it's no different for dogs. The probiotics and prebiotics found in VITAL DOG supplements have been specifically chosen to help maintain gut health and  promote better digestion and nutrient absorption. As senior dogs slow down and potentially eat less, it’s important that they’re extracting more nutrients from their food.  

Skin and coat health

Is your dog's coat looking a bit dull and lacking lustre as the years go by? It's pretty common for older dogs to have dry skin or a dull coat, but there is a way to bring back a bit of the shine! The omega-3 fatty acids in VITAL DOG supplements help nourish your dog’s skin and keep their coat shinier and softer. As a bonus, these healthy fats also have anti-inflammatory properties!

Increased energy

Even the most playful pups can suffer from increased fatigue as they age. Thankfully, VITAL DOG nutritional supplements are naturally enriched with essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that help maintain their overall energy levels and stamina, so they can continue to enjoy playtime and short adventures with you.
