Belcando Senior Sensitive

As your dog ages, its activity levels are bound to decrease and its metabolism will begin to work more and more slowly. Senior dogs can also develop intolerances or allergies that they didn’t have when they were younger. Changing your dog onto a diet such as this Belcando Senior Sensitive can help to avoid unwanted weight gain, with a tailored energy content to meet your dog’s changing nutritional needs. Belcando Senior Sensitive has reduced protein and fat contents, with an increased raw fibre content, and when the feeding recommendations are observed this dish can help with weight loss or maintenance. It is not only the recipe that is important in choosing your dog’s diet, but also the quality of the raw ingredients. Processed rice is easy to digest and free from gluten, with an extremely low allergenic potential. Potatoes are easy to digest and provide essential potassium. Belcando Senior Sensitive contains no wheat, as this can often lead to intolerance or allergic reactions. Low-ash poultry meat adds flavour and valuable digestible protein to this diet, primarily from muscle and of human food-grade quality. The herring in this Belcando Senior Sensitive is freshly caught, rich in amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids.

Antioxidants are essential in protecting cells against free radicals, as well as combating signs of ageing, chronic illnesses and degenerative conditions. Grapeseed meal has a high content of natural polyphenols, which are proven to have the highest antioxidative potential of any foodstuff. The grapeseed has been cold-pressed for this Belcando Senior Sensitive, and the meal can have positive effects on the heart, cardiovascular system and overall vitality. Brewer’s yeast is an excellent source of immune-supporting B-vitamins, amino acids, trace elements and minerals, as well as providing great flavour. Dried carob bean meal offers essential prebiotics, which can help to combat the spread of pathogenic bacteria and support the growth of friendly bacteria in the gut, improving balance in your dog’s overall intestinal flora. Ingredients such as chia seeds and linseeds are sources of vital unsaturated fatty acids and mucous, which can have anti-inflammatory, soothing effects on allergies.

The ProVital concept in this Belcando Senior Sensitive can support natural immune system strength. A dog living in the wild will ingest a wide range of funguses, which help to stimulate and boost the immune system. Natural yeast components help to simulate this in your dog, leading to increased metabolic activity for strong bodily defences.

ProAgil is important in supporting healthy development of bones and joints, as well as combating degenerative diseases. Bioactive collagen peptides from gelatine can have proven positive effects on the supply of amino acids. The gelatine proteins are broken down in a special process that does not cause any allergic reactions.
