Large breed dogs become seniors at a relatively young age, compared with their smaller-size counterparts. By age 5, giant breed dogs are seniors, while large breeds are seniors by age 6. They have special nutritional needs, owing to their size as well as life stage. Maintaining Optimal Health Eukanuba? Senior Large Breed Formula is a nutritional breakthrough for large breed dogs that have reached the senior stage. It provides an optimal balance of appropriate protein, fat, calories, vitamins, and minerals for the aging large dog, in a bigger kibble size. Protein and Fat As dogs age, they typically need fewer calories from fat, but protein is critical to their diet to ensure the proper maintenance of muscle tissue. Reducing protein at the same rate that fat is reduced can result in deterioration of muscle mass needed for vitality throughout the senior years. Eukanuba? Senior Large Breed Formula supports muscle mass with precise levels of high-quality chicken protein.
