The Flint River Ranch Senior PLUS formula is an all-natural, oven-baked ultra premium gourmet health food for inactive, overweight, or older dogs that contains lower fat (1/3 less) and fewer calories (1/3 fewer) than our original premium dog food formula. The supportive diet assists with canine discomfort from degenerating joints and arthritis, helping to lubricate joints and inhibit enzymes that break down cartilage.

The PLUS formula augments the regular Senior formula with a wholesome and rich source of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate to help older, mature dogs maintain healthy joint cartilage. Designed to help stimulate your dog's body to produce more glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the Senior PLUS formula may help with the hydration of joints because of its polyanionic characteristics, which provide the lubrication needed in joints for proper function.

There is no need to wait for the symptoms of arthritis to become pronounced to start using the PLUS pet food formula because the kibble works great as a preventative. A regular diet of Flint River Ranch PLUS can even be started in young adult dogs known to have a genetic predisposition to osteoarthritis, joint dysplasia (hip, elbow, knee or shoulder), degenerative disc disease, osteochondrodysplasia, or related health issue.

Be sure to supplement the Senior PLUS formula with our tasty Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate-fortified Jubilee Wafer treats.
