About Senior Recipes

• Seven is a marketing threshold rather than a biological one. A seven-year-old cat or a seven-year-old small dog is barely middle-aged; a seven-year-old Great Dane is genuinely old. Use the number as a prompt to look at your pet rather than as a deadline.
• What changes with age is real enough: less lean muscle, less efficient kidneys, stiffer joints, and often a less reliable appetite. Senior recipes respond with controlled minerals, easier digestibility and more palatability.
• The honest limit: no food reverses ageing, and phrases about fighting the effects of ageing are a frame rather than a mechanism. What actually helps an older pet is twice-yearly vet checks with blood and urine tests, staying lean, and catching kidney, thyroid, dental and joint disease early.
• Weight loss in an older pet is never just age. In cats especially it is one of the most reliable early signs of kidney disease, hyperthyroidism or diabetes, and it needs a vet rather than a richer food.

Feeding, Storage And The Range

• How much: start from the chart on the pack by weight, then adjust to what you can feel. If you feed wet and dry together, count both halves towards the daily total rather than treating the wet as an extra.
• Changing over: move across gradually over about seven days rather than switching in one go.
• Storage and serving: refrigerate once opened, use within about two days and serve at room temperature, since cold food smells of much less. In UAE summer take it up after about twenty minutes.
• Who makes it: Hill's was founded by an American vet, Mark Morris Senior, who formulated a kidney diet for a guide dog in the 1940s. They run feeding trials on their recipes, which is why they can say clinically proven where most brands cannot.
• Science Plan is not Prescription Diet: this is the everyday range for healthy pets. Prescription Diet is the separate therapeutic range for diagnosed conditions, sold on a vet's recommendation, and the two are not interchangeable.
