Flint River Ranch Senior PLUS Kibble Dog Food has been formulated with a wholesome and rich source of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate that helps maintain healthy joint cartilage in older, mature dogs.

This is a functional food, rather than the traditional oral pill form, that may serve to inhibit cartilage degradation by helping to stimulate the body's ability to produce more GAG'S (glycosaminoglycans). The cartilage make up of the Senior PLUS formula may help with the hydration of joints because of the polyanionic characteristics, thus the lubrication needed in joints for proper function. It is not a substitute for professional treatment, but a supportive means to assist with canine discomfort.

Flint River Ranch SeniorPLUS Dog Food is formulated with 1/3 less protein and fat, is made from the same ingredients as our regular adult food and is oven-baked. However, because the ingredients mix to reduce fat and protein, it will generally appear lighter in color. It is best fed to very overweight or lethargic dogs. Protein is 16% minimum, fat is 8% minimum.

Use the lower fat and calories of this formulation for senior and less active dogs when deemed appropriate by your veterinarian. The Flint River Ranch formula is TWICE OVEN-BAKED under carefully controlled conditions and temperatures - resulting in better nutrition, palatability and digestibility for your pet. The ultimate in premium nutrition!

This item is shipped in bags of 20 pounds or less for customer convenience. If you order 40 pounds, for instance, you will receive a shipment of two 20-pound bags.

A natural, healthy way to feed your dog as part of a complete care program supervised by your veterinarian.

Because the Flint River Ranch Kibble is high density, you feed 20%-25% less than other foods. Each serving delivers maximum nutrition without fillers, so you'll also notice a lower stool volume and less clean-up.

It is better to introduce Flint River Ranch Super Premium foods by mixing with your dogs usual food and increasing the amount of Flint River Ranch over several days. It will take time for your dog to adjust to the rich, easy to digest, Super Premium quality. A sudden change in any food source may be a shock to your dogs digestive system. You may notice loose stool. If so, reduce the amount being fed until your dog adjusts.

Feed your dog once or twice a day. Food requirements vary depending on climate, breed of dog and exercise activity. Feed an amount that will maintain your dog's weight.
