Product Information

Full details

Bakers Complete Senior Chicken & Veg is designed for dogs aged 7 and over, offering a tailored nutritional solution to support their changing needs. Its key benefit is providing complete nutrition with adjusted calorie levels to help maintain ideal body weight, while a potential caveat is the need to monitor individual dog's digestion for the lower-fat protein sources. This food features low-fat protein, digestible carbohydrates, and added vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support immunity and mobility, all in a smaller kibble size for easier chewing and digestion.

FAQs

What age is this food suitable for?

This food is specifically formulated for dogs aged 7 years and older.

Can I feed this to my adult dog?

No, this food is designed for senior dogs and may not provide the correct nutritional balance for adult dogs. It is best to use an adult formula for dogs under 7 years old.

How do I store the food once opened?

Store the opened bag in a cool, dry place and reseal it tightly to maintain freshness. An airtight container is also recommended.

What are the main benefits for senior dogs?

It supports a healthy immune system, aids mobility, helps maintain an ideal body weight with fewer calories, and is easier to chew and digest due to its smaller kibble size.

How much should I feed my dog?

Feeding amounts can vary based on your dog's age, breed, activity level, and metabolism. Refer to the feeding guide on the packaging and adjust as necessary to maintain your dog's ideal body condition. Consult your veterinarian if unsure.

Does this food contain artificial colours or flavours?

The product description does not specify the absence of artificial colours or flavours, focusing on its nutritional composition for senior dogs.

What is the protein source in this food?

The primary low-fat protein source mentioned is chicken.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the new food

Ensure the transition period is followed correctly. You can try warming the food slightly with a little water to enhance aroma, or mix in a small amount of a highly palatable senior-safe topper.

Digestive upset (loose stools) after switching

Slow down the transition process, extending the period over 14 days if necessary. Ensure adequate water intake. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.

Dog not maintaining ideal weight

Ensure you are feeding the correct portion size according to the feeding guidelines and your dog's activity level. Consult the packaging or your vet for precise recommendations.

Kibble seems too hard for chewing

Soften the kibble by adding a small amount of warm water to the food before serving. This can also help to release aromas and encourage eating.
