Quick Product Snapshot

Why Pet Owners Choose This Food

• Senior-specific protein blend - Fresh chicken, chicken liver, and sardines provide a multi-protein combination with enhanced nutrient density suited to the changing metabolic needs of aging dogs.
• Chicken liver for nutrient density - Chicken liver contributes concentrated vitamins and minerals as part of the protein profile, complementing the primary chicken protein source.
• Sardines for omega fatty acids - Sardines provide a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids alongside olive oil and salmon oil, supporting skin, coat, and cognitive function in senior dogs.
• 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.
• Small bite-sized kibble for senior dogs - The compact kibble size is easier for senior dogs to pick up and chew, accommodating aging teeth and smaller jaw structures.
• Good Grains formula with brown rice - Wholesome brown rice provides digestible energy and fiber, appropriate for senior dogs' activity levels and digestive needs.
• Low-starch formulation - Less processed than traditional extruded kibbles, with a lower starch profile relative to conventional dry dog food.

Ingredient Transparency

The primary protein is fresh chicken, with chicken liver and sardines included as additional animal protein sources. Brown rice serves as the wholesome grain carbohydrate base. Olive oil and salmon oil provide omega fatty acids, with sardines contributing additional natural omega-3s. Whole fruits and vegetables contribute supplemental nutrition. No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives are used. No added hormones or antibiotics are present in the chicken sourcing. The formula is produced in small batches in Canada.

Nutritional Positioning

This formula is positioned as a complete and balanced meal for senior dogs. The multi-protein blend of chicken, chicken liver, and sardines provides essential amino acids and nutrients tailored to aging dogs' changing needs. Optimized calcium and phosphorus levels support skeletal health and proper mineral balance for aging joints. Omega fatty acids from olive oil, salmon oil, and sardines contribute to skin, coat, and cognitive support. The oven-baking process is intended to preserve nutritional integrity compared to high-heat extrusion methods. Meets AAFCO nutritional standards for adult maintenance.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The small bite-sized kibble has a firm, cookie-like texture resulting from the oven-baking process. The compact size is easier for senior dogs to pick up and chew thoroughly, including those with aging or sensitive teeth. The chicken-forward flavor profile, enhanced by chicken liver and sardines, tends to be highly palatable for senior dogs, including selective eaters. 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.
