Calibra Premium Line Senior and Light is a veterinarian-developed, chicken-based dry food specifically formulated for aging dogs and pets requiring weight management. This nutrient-dense diet focuses on joint health, digestive support, and immunity, making it ideal for dogs with slower metabolisms or mobility concerns, though owners should note the specific kibble density requires consistent hydration for optimal digestion.

Yes, this formula is balanced for senior dogs of all breeds, provided they require weight management or joint support.
Yes, you can mix it with wet food, but be sure to adjust the total caloric intake to prevent weight gain.
No, this formula is explicitly free from artificial colourants and preservatives.
Salmon oil is added as a premium source of omega-3 fatty acids to support coat health, skin condition, and cognitive function in older dogs.
Yucca extract contains saponins that bind to ammonia in the gut, which helps reduce the odor of a dog's stool.
The formula features 32% chicken protein as the primary protein source for muscle maintenance.
Mix in a small amount of warm water to soften the kibble and release the natural aromas of the chicken and oils.
Slow down the transition process by keeping the ratio of new-to-old food lower for a longer duration.
Ensure feeding portions are strictly measured based on the current weight of the dog and divide the daily allotment into smaller, more frequent meals.
Transitioning to Calibra should be done gradually over a 7-day period to prevent digestive upset. Start by mixing 25% new food with 75% old food, gradually increasing the ratio of Calibra until the transition is complete. Ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean water at all times, as the fiber content (lignocellulose and oats) requires adequate hydration for smooth digestion. Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure it is sealed tightly after each serving to preserve the freshness of the fats and vitamins. Because this food contains no artificial preservatives, keeping it in its original packaging is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of the nutrient profile.
