Product Information
Full details
Eukanuba Senior Large Breed Chicken Dog Food is specifically formulated for aging large-breed dogs who require targeted nutritional support to maintain their quality of life. This nutrient-dense diet provides the essential ingredients to support joint health, digestive regularity, and immune function, making it an excellent choice for owners looking to manage their dog's long-term health through diet. The primary caveat is that, as a large-breed specific formula, it may not be suitable for smaller dogs or those with poultry allergies, so owners should consult with a veterinarian before switching diets.

FAQs
At what age should I switch my dog to this senior formula?
Generally, large-breed dogs are considered seniors at age 7, but you should transition when you notice early signs of aging such as reduced mobility or changes in appetite.
Can I mix this with wet food?
Yes, you can mix in wet food, but ensure you adjust the overall calorie count to prevent overfeeding.
Does this food contain grains?
Yes, this formula includes grain-based ingredients to provide balanced energy and fibre for digestion.
Is the kibble size suitable for all senior dogs?
The kibble is specifically designed for the jaws of large-breed dogs; it may be too large for small or toy breeds.
How long will a 12kg bag last?
It depends on your dog's weight and activity level. Please refer to the feeding guidelines on the back of the bag for daily portion recommendations based on weight.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new kibble
Try mixing a small amount of warm water or low-sodium chicken broth with the kibble to enhance the aroma during the transition period.
Soft stools during transition
Slow the transition process down; ensure you are adding the new food in smaller increments over a longer period of 10-14 days.
Weight gain while on the food
Adjust the daily portion size based on your dog's activity level and consult your veterinarian to confirm appropriate caloric intake.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dog transitions smoothly to Eukanuba Senior Large Breed, follow a gradual 7-day transition plan by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with their previous diet. Always ensure fresh water is available at all times, as the high fibre content requires proper hydration for optimal digestion. Store the 12kg bag in a cool, dry place and keep the top tightly sealed or transfer the kibble to an airtight container to preserve the freshness of the fatty acids and vitamins. If you notice any sudden changes in stool consistency, slow down the transition period.
