SENIOR-SPECIFIC RECIPES
Proactive recipes meant for the otherwise healthy senior dog. Your dog is evaluated as an individual- while dogs technically become seniors at different age brackets depending on their weight range, your dog's specific health and behavior history and patterns help to determine just how "silver" of a senior they are! Recipes may be raw, cooked, or a combination.
Recipe ingredients are determined by what you have available, but I may ask you to look for additional items. I very rarely utilize chicken in formulations. Proactive senior diets often involve the reduction or removal of bones in lieu of calcium supplements; this is to benefit your dog’s health and longevity and is determined on an individual basis.
While I focus on whole foods, supplements may be required due to certain health concerns and/or ingredient limitations due to sourcing or dietary intolerances.
All recipes come with:
- Daily and batch ingredients of either one, two, or four weeks
- Detailed instructions on prepping, storing, and feeding your dog's recipe
-
Any applicable notes on ingredient choices
- Transition guides from any kibble/canned foods for sensitive stomachs
- Any additional recommended support in the form of nutraceuticals
- Links to any necessary supplements
- Two weeks of e-mail support
Please note that the following common senior health concerns are not considered proactive, and will require a therapeutic recipe:
- Moderate to severe arthritis
- Chronic kidney disease at any stage
- Weight management with a required loss or gain of over 10 lbs.
- Elevated liver or kidney enzymes on bloodwork

Premade grinds that are labeled as “whole prey” or “80/10/10” cannot be utilized in precise recipe formulations unless the company is able to provide nutritional analyses for their products. There are no exceptions to this for seniors.
