As your dog grows older, their nutritional requirements evolve. Many senior dogs, especially those on homemade or raw diets, may benefit from a carefully formulated Multivitamin to fill any dietary gaps. VetriScience Senior 27+ is a convenient, duck-flavoured chewable tablet designed to support overall wellbeing in ageing dogs, providing over 27 essential nutrients including vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids and antioxidants.
What Makes VetriScience Senior 27+ Special?
This Multivitamin stands out because it is tailored specifically for the challenges of senior canine health: reduced energy, joint stiffness, cognitive decline and weakened immunity. The inclusion of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from fish oil particularly benefits joint and brain function, while antioxidants like vitamins A, C and E help combat oxidative stress.
Another unique aspect is the chewable tablet form – many elderly dogs struggle with pills or powders, but these duck-flavoured tablets are easy to administer and palatable enough to be enjoyed as a treat. The formula is also free from artificial preservatives, making it a gentle choice for dogs with sensitivities.
Key Ingredients and Benefits
VetriScience Senior 27+ combines science-backed ingredients to address the unique needs of ageing dogs. Here is a closer look at what is inside:
-
Vitamins A, C and E: These antioxidants help neutralise free radicals, contributing to normal immune function and overall vitality.
-
Biotin and Methionine: Known for their role in skin and coat health, these nutrients help maintain a glossy coat and healthy skin.
-
Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids: Sourced from fish oil, these essential fats support joint mobility, brain function and a healthy inflammatory response.
-
Additional Minerals and Antioxidants: A balanced blend of minerals like zinc and selenium, along with other antioxidants, contributes to heart, brain and immune health.
This formula is designed to work synergistically, providing targeted support for the areas most affected by ageing.
How to Choose the Right Multivitamin for Your Senior Dog
Not all multivitamins are created equal. When selecting a supplement for your senior dog, consider the following factors:
-
Age-Specific Formulation: Look for a product designed specifically for senior dogs, as their needs differ from those of puppies or adults.
-
Ingredient Quality: Choose supplements with natural, bio-available ingredients. VetriScience uses science-backed components like fish oil for omega fatty acids and chelated minerals for better absorption.
-
Palatability: Senior dogs can be picky. Duck-flavoured chewable tablets like these are often well-accepted and gentle on sensitive stomachs.
-
Veterinary Formulation: Products developed by veterinarians offer an extra layer of trust, as they are based on clinical expertise.
Always consult your veterinarian before starting any new supplement, especially if your dog has existing health conditions or is on medication.
Recommended Dosage and Usage
For best results, follow the dosage instructions on the product label. Typically, dosage is based on your dog's weight. As a general guideline:
- Dogs under 9 kg: 1 tablet daily
- Dogs 9–23 kg: 2 tablets daily
- Dogs over 23 kg: 3 tablets daily
However, these are general recommendations. Always start with the label instructions and adjust based on your veterinarian's advice. The tablets can be given with or without food, but consistent daily uses is key to seeing benefits.
