Size Health Nutrition Maxi Ageing 8+ 15 KG

Royal Canin Size Health Nutrition Maxi Ageing 8+ 15 KG is a specially formulated dry dog food designed for large-breed dogs (weighing between 26 to 44 kg) that are 8 years or older. As dogs age, their nutritional requirements change, and this formula addresses the unique needs of senior dogs, particularly large breeds, by supporting their joint health, cognitive function, digestive health, and overall vitality. This food helps ensure your older dog stays healthy, comfortable, and active in their senior years.

Key Features of Maxi Ageing 8+:

1. Age-Appropriate Nutrition:

   • As large breed dogs age, their metabolism slows down, and they become more prone to joint issues and muscle loss. Maxi Ageing 8+ is specifically formulated for dogs aged 8 years and older, with adjusted nutrient levels to meet the needs of senior dogs.
   • This food helps support overall vitality while managing the challenges of aging, such as reduced energy, reduced mobility, and sensitive digestion.

2. Joint and Bone Health:

   • Large breed dogs are particularly prone to joint problems, including arthritis, as they age. The formula includes glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, which help support joint health and mobility by maintaining cartilage integrity and promoting joint lubrication.
   • EPA & DHA (omega-3 fatty acids) also help reduce inflammation in the joints and promote overall mobility, which is crucial for maintaining an active lifestyle as your dog ages.

3. Supports Healthy Aging and Cognitive Function:

   • Older dogs, especially large breeds, can experience a decline in cognitive function, leading to confusion or anxiety. Maxi Ageing 8+ includes antioxidants such as vitamins E and C, which help combat oxidative stress and support brain health, potentially slowing the cognitive decline associated with aging.
   • The formula also includes L-carnitine to help manage body weight and maintain muscle mass, which is important as metabolism slows down in older dogs.

4. Digestive Health:

   • Older dogs may have more sensitive digestive systems. This food includes highly digestible proteins and prebiotics, such as FOS (fructooligosaccharides), which help maintain a healthy digestive system. These ingredients promote good nutrient absorption and help maintain stool quality.
   • The formula is designed to be gentle on your dog’s stomach, which is essential for senior dogs who may be more prone to digestive discomfort.

5. Weight Management:

   • Maxi Ageing 8+ is designed to help maintain an ideal weight for senior dogs. As dogs age, they often become less active and may have a tendency to gain weight. The food is formulated to provide the right calorie density to maintain a healthy weight without promoting excess fat accumulation.
   • The balanced levels of protein and fat help maintain muscle mass while preventing obesity-related health problems.

6. Healthy Skin and Coat:

   • As dogs age, their skin can become dry, and their coat may lose its shine. This formula includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which nourish the skin and promote a shiny, healthy coat. The fatty acids help maintain skin elasticity and hydration, preventing dryness and irritation.

7. Special Kibble Design:

   • The kibble in Maxi Ageing 8+ is designed with a special shape and texture that encourages chewing, which helps maintain oral health and supports the reduction of plaque buildup.
   • The kibble is also adapted to be palatable for senior dogs, many of whom may have a decreased appetite or be more selective with food.
