Testimonials

My little elderly dog very much enjoys this food half and half with tinned wet food and a mixer.

My Siberian Husky named Diesel loves the grain free bug bakes.

I followed the instructions for transitioning from his old food to bug bakes - I found using the fecal scoring chart really useful! It was a smooth transition and I’ve noticed an improvement in his stools.

A massive difference that I’m impressed by is the fact that Diesel finishes his meals within 10 minutes of me placing his bowl of bug bakes down - that wasn’t the case with his old food.

I’ve committed to a monthly subscription as both me and Diesel are happy with Bug Bakes. I highly recommend to anyone thinking of improving their dogs diet.

I, unfortunately, had to take my 12 years old little cairn terrier to the vet due to constantly having an upset stomach. I switched to bugbakes and he’s back to his normal happy self. Best move ever. Highly recommend for a healthy happy dog.

Unleash Their Golden Years: Senior Dog Food Designed for Strength and Vitality

Does your senior pup struggle to keep up with the younger pack? Age can slow them down, but proper nutrition can help them thrive. Our senior dog food is scientifically formulated to address the changing needs of older dogs, so they can live life to the fullest for as long as possible.

Here's how our food keeps your senior champion strong:

  • Muscle Up - Senior dogs lose muscle mass naturally. Our 28% protein formula helps rebuild and maintain strength, keeping them active and playful.
  • Trim and Terrific - As their metabolism slows, senior dogs are prone to weight gain. Our calorie-controlled formula helps them stay trim and healthy, reducing the risk of obesity-related illnesses.
  • Naturally Delicious - Free from artificial preservatives and grains, our food is gentle on their sensitive systems and caters to allergies or intolerances.

Don't let age slow down your furry friend. Give them the fuel they need to stay active, healthy, and happy with our senior dog food.

Ingredients Designed for Optimal Health

As your cherished companion ages, their nutritional needs evolve. Our senior dry food offers a perfect blend of ingredients to promote their health and well-being during their golden years:

  • Wholesome, High-Quality Protein: Senior dogs require more protein to maintain muscle mass and support overall strength. Our formula is rich in protein from real sources, keeping your dog energetic and active.
  • Targeted Joint Support: We understand that mobility can become a challenge for senior dogs. That's why we fortify our food with Glucosamine and Chondroitin, ingredients known to help maintain healthy joints and support flexibility.
  • Complete and Balanced Nutrition: Every bite is packed with vitamins and minerals from fresh food sources, ensuring your senior dog receives all the essential nutrients they need to thrive.
  • Addressing Allergies and Sensitivities: We offer grain-free and hypoallergenic options to cater to any food sensitivities your senior dog may have developed.

FAQ

At what age is a dog considered senior?

Should I increase my senior dog’s protein intake?

Yes, for a senior dog, maintaining muscle is challenging. You should increase their protein intake to help them conserve muscle mass.
