High-Quality Food for Senior Dogs – Implementing BARF in Old Age
Even in old age, our dogs deserve only the best—especially when it comes to nutrition. BARF for senior dogs offers an ideal way to meet the special needs of aging pets. With high-quality food from our eBarf shop, you can ensure that your dog remains healthy and active well into old age.
Why BARF is the Best Choice for Senior Dogs
Feeding according to the BARF principle allows you to tailor meals to your dog's individual needs. Senior dogs often have a lower energy requirement due to reduced activity and may experience age-related changes such as worn-down teeth or a slower digestive system. However, this does not mean that a special diet plan is necessary—rather, a few small adjustments can be enough to adapt meals to your dog's age. With our selection of ground meat, easily digestible snacks, and natural supplements, you can ensure that your senior dog gets everything they need.
Special Needs of Older Dogs
Depending on the breed, dogs are considered seniors from around 8 to 10 years of age. As they grow older, they often experience physical changes that should be taken into account when feeding:
- Worn-down teeth & reduced saliva production: Large meat chunks and bones are harder to chew. Ground meat and ground bones are ideal alternatives.
- Slower digestion: Herbs such as nettle or dandelion can aid digestion, while more fiber—e.g., in the form of vegetables—can help prevent constipation.
- Declining sense of smell: Strongly scented ingredients like tripe or supplements such as blood or bone broth can stimulate appetite.
- Less activity & muscle mass: A low-fat diet helps prevent unwanted weight gain, while supplements like green-lipped mussel support joint health.
- Weaker immune system: Supplements like honey, rosehip powder, B vitamins, or special herbs can boost immunity.
These changes do not mean that your dog has to enjoy their meals any less. With the right diet, you can meet their needs and provide optimal care.
How Much Food Does My Senior Dog Need?
Since energy requirements decrease with age, it is usually sufficient to adjust the food amount to about 2% of the body weight. At the same time, the ratio of meat to plant-based components can be around 70:30 or 60:40. This ensures that your senior dog receives enough fiber to support digestion while still getting all the essential nutrients.
