As our dogs get older, their metabolism may slow down, their digestion may change, or they may develop age-related health concerns. If you have found your pooch has gone off their food or require a new diet then Butternut could help.

It is always best to start with a gradual transition, over 10-14 days. This can be done by initially mixing a spoonful of Butternut in with your dog's current food and adding an extra spoonful daily, whilst gradually reducing their old food.

Our leaner recipes (chicken, turkey and veggie) are extra gentle and ideal for older dogs during the adjustment period. We'd recommend feeding your dog little and often by offering small meals 3-4 times a day to aid digestion.

If your older pooch is looking a little slim and needs to gain weight, our richer recipes (beef, pork, lamb, salmon, and duck & chicken) contain a few extra calories. Our lamb recipe also contains turmeric which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory benefits, in particular, if your dog is experiencing arthritis or joint concerns. On the other hand, if your pooch needs to shed a few pounds then our leaner recipes are great, as they contain slightly fewer calories.

Please note these are feeding guidelines only. We understand you know your pooch best so it's totally understood that you may need to make some changes to suit them.
