Product Information

Full details

Calibra Life Chicken Senior is a superpremium, hypoallergenic dry dog food specifically formulated for senior dogs of medium and large breeds aged six years and older. This diet is ideal for owners looking to support their aging pet's mobility and digestive health through high-quality animal proteins and joint-support nutrients; however, it is specifically optimized for dogs over 10 kg, making it less suitable for smaller breeds or younger dogs with different metabolic needs.

FAQs

Is this food suitable for my 4-year-old large breed dog?

No, this formula is specifically balanced for senior dogs aged 6 years and older. Younger, active dogs have different nutritional requirements.

What does hypoallergenic mean in this context?

It means the formula is crafted with a limited, low-grain list of ingredients to minimize the risk of common adverse food reactions.

Can I feed this to my medium-sized dog?

Yes, it is formulated for both medium and large breeds, provided they weigh over 10 kg.

Why are chelated minerals important?

Chelated minerals are bound to organic molecules, which allows for significantly higher absorption rates compared to standard mineral forms.

Does this food help with joint pain?

The food contains chondroitin and glucosamine, which are building blocks for cartilage and help support musculoskeletal health, but it is not a medicinal treatment for diagnosed joint disease.

Troubleshooting

Dog is reluctant to eat the new food

Try mixing a small amount of warm water or low-sodium bone broth with the kibble to enhance the aroma during the transition period.

Soft stools during transition

This may indicate the transition was too fast. Return to the previous ratio of old food for a few days before attempting a slower transition again.

Weight gain after switching

Monitor the daily feeding portion against the weight guidelines on the packaging and ensure the dog is receiving appropriate levels of daily activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When switching your dog to Calibra Life Chicken Senior, it is recommended to transition over a period of 5 to 7 days by gradually increasing the amount of the new food while decreasing the old. Ensure your dog always has access to fresh, clean drinking water, as dry food requires adequate hydration for proper digestion. Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the vitamins and minerals. For senior dogs, maintain regular veterinary check-ups to ensure the caloric intake matches their activity level, as senior dogs may require adjustments in portion size to prevent weight gain.
