Product Information

Full details

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.

FAQs

Is this food suitable for all breeds?

Yes, this formula is balanced for senior dogs of all breeds, provided they require weight management or joint support.

Can I mix this with wet food?

Yes, you can mix it with wet food, but be sure to adjust the total caloric intake to prevent weight gain.

Does this contain artificial preservatives?

No, this formula is explicitly free from artificial colourants and preservatives.

Why is salmon oil included?

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.

How does yucca help with odor?

Yucca extract contains saponins that bind to ammonia in the gut, which helps reduce the odor of a dog's stool.

What is the primary protein source?

The formula features 32% chicken protein as the primary protein source for muscle maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Dog is hesitant to eat the new food

Mix in a small amount of warm water to soften the kibble and release the natural aromas of the chicken and oils.

Loose stools during transition

Slow down the transition process by keeping the ratio of new-to-old food lower for a longer duration.

Dog appears hungry between meals

Ensure feeding portions are strictly measured based on the current weight of the dog and divide the daily allotment into smaller, more frequent meals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality chicken protein content of 32%
  • Supports joint longevity with glucosamine and chondroitin
  • Contains natural iodine sources via kelp
  • Free from soy and synthetic additives
  • Tailored fiber content for weight control

Cons

  • Specific chicken-based profile may not suit dogs with severe poultry allergies
  • Senior-specific texture may require transition for dogs accustomed to softer kibble
  • Limited to specific weight management focus, not for high-energy puppies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
