Quick Product Snapshot

Why Pet Owners Choose This Food

• Up to 40% fresh chicken - Fresh chicken makes up to 40% of the recipe, approximately double the fresh meat content of typical extruded dry dog foods, delivering concentrated protein for aging dogs.
• 50% less starch than extruded foods - The low-starch formulation is designed to support healthy weight management for senior dogs with reduced activity levels, without the high carbohydrate load of conventional kibble.
• Senior-specific nutritional positioning - The high fresh meat and low-starch profile addresses the changing metabolic needs of aging dogs, including reduced caloric requirements and protein utilization changes.
• Small-batch oven-baking in Canada - Each batch is oven-baked rather than extruded, a gentler process intended to preserve protein integrity, amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants from whole food ingredients.
• Grain-free with non-GMO fruits and vegetables - No grains are used; non-GMO fruits and vegetables contribute natural vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber to the formula.
• Optimized calcium and phosphorus - Mineral levels are calibrated to support skeletal health and proper mineral balance for aging joints.
• No artificial additives - Free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, with no added hormones or antibiotics in the chicken sourcing.

Nutritional Positioning

This formula is positioned as a complete and balanced meal for senior dogs. The high fresh chicken content provides concentrated protein and essential amino acids tailored to aging dogs' changing metabolic needs. The low-starch profile - 50% less than comparable extruded foods - supports healthy body condition in senior dogs with reduced activity levels. Optimized calcium and phosphorus levels support skeletal health for aging joints. The oven-baking process is intended to preserve nutritional integrity compared to high-heat extrusion. Meets AAFCO nutritional standards for adult maintenance.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The oven-baked kibble has a cookie-like texture resulting from the baking process. The high fresh chicken content contributes to strong palatability, making it suitable for selective senior eaters. The oven-baked texture is generally well-accepted by dogs transitioning from extruded kibble. Kibble texture may vary slightly based on storage conditions - keep sealed in a cool, dry place after opening.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Feed as a complete daily meal for senior dogs. Senior dogs may require fewer calories than adult dogs - adjust portions based on your dog's weight, activity level, and body condition. When transitioning from another food, gradually introduce over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts of Lotus with the current food. Always provide fresh, clean water. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding recommendations based on your senior dog's individual health needs.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Keep fresh water available at all times. If your dog has known food allergies or sensitivities, review the full ingredient list before feeding. Consult your veterinarian if your senior dog has specific health conditions that may affect dietary requirements.
