Senior diets are specially formulated for dogs aged 7 and older, typically featuring reduced calories, adjusted protein levels, and added joint-supporting nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin.
These are general guidelines for the Senior Formula diet. Always adjust portions based on your dog's individual weight, activity level, and life stage. Consult your vet before making significant changes to your dog's diet.

| Medium | 10–25 kg | 1-1.5 cups | 2 meals |
| Large | 25–45 kg | 1.5-2.5 cups | 2 meals |
| Giant | 45 kg+ | 2.5-4 cups | 2-3 meals |
