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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guidance and Portion Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety, Storage, and Handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
