Hill's Science Plan Large Breed Senior Vitality 6+ Chicken Dry Dog Food

Large breed dogs age faster than their smaller counterparts, which means cognitive decline and energy loss can set in earlier. This dry dog food provides the support they need. Hill's Science Plan Senior Vitality Large Breed 6+ with Chicken is specifically designed to combat these effects with a proprietary ingredient blend that supports brain function and mental acuity.

Omega-3 fatty acids at 0.8% from fish oil provide additional brain support, while omega-6 at 3.6% nourishes the skin and promotes a healthy coat. The formula is enriched with whole grains including barley and oats, dried whole egg, and beneficial natural ingredients like dried carrots, green tea extract, and spinach.

Made with quality chicken and turkey protein to maintain lean muscle mass, the easy-to-digest formula is gentle on ageing digestive systems. The feeding guide is calibrated specifically for large breed dogs weighing 25kg and above.

Suitable for large breed dogs from around 5-6 years of age. Available in a 14kg bag at Canine & Co.

Why does my large breed dog need Senior Vitality from age 5-6?

Large breed dogs age faster than smaller breeds, so starting brain support earlier helps address cognitive decline sooner. A 6-year-old Labrador is roughly equivalent to a 45-50 year-old human.

What makes Senior Vitality different from the standard Mature Adult large breed food?

Senior Vitality adds targeted cognitive support on top of standard adult nutrition. It is designed to support:

• Brain function
• Energy
• Social interaction

Standard Mature Adult formulas focus more on organ support and metabolism.

What pack size is available?

This food is available in a 14kg bag at Canine & Co, making it a practical size for large breed dogs with bigger appetites.

What ingredients support brain health?

The formula includes ingredients that help support cognitive function in ageing dogs:

• Fish oil (omega-3)
• Dried whole egg
• Barley
• Oats
• Natural antioxidants from green tea extract, carrots, and spinach

How do I know if my large dog needs brain function support?

Common signs of age-related cognitive changes in dogs include reduced alertness, less interaction with family, increased sleeping, decreased playfulness, or seeming confused in familiar places.

Is there a medium or small breed version?

Yes, Canine & Co stocks Hill's Science Plan Senior Vitality for Small & Mini and Medium breeds too. Each formula uses the same brain-supporting ingredients, with kibble and portions suited to different sizes.

Can I mix this with wet food?

Yes, you can combine it with Hill's wet food for variety and hydration. Reduce the dry food portion accordingly to keep the correct daily calorie intake.
