As pets age, issues with meal time can become quite common. Older pets tend to be more finicky at meal time, or some pets are overweight or have health issues that some foods can adversely impact. Pet owners who are concerned about their aging pet often find themselves evaluating their pets diet, especially if any of these issues exist. While there are a variety of pet food companies on the market today who offer senior food options, there is one company that is focused on catering to older pets.
Open Farm creates custom recipes that are made in a way that respects animal welfare and the environment. Their foods are made up of grass fed to pasture raised meats as well as non GMO superfoods like pumpkin and leafy greens.
Some of the meal options they offer include lower calorie dry food which can be more suitable for less active senior pets. They also offer freeze dried raw foods the help animals who are more finicky and do not have a big appetite. The freeze dried raw meals are designed to treat loss of appetite because they are highly palatable.
For some senior pets, their rustic stew or gently cooked wet food is a good option for senior pets who may have had teeth removed. They have added glucosamine and chondroitin to their dry food to help support joint health in older pets.
Finally, they offer bone broth that can be added as a topper to make food more palatable, which is high in collagen and supports the health of senior pets bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
With Open Farm senior pet food, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to pet food and they help you take the guesswork out of which food to try for your senior pet via an online quiz – which will ask questions like how finicky your pet is, your pets activity level, their body type, their preferred protein, their preferred type of food, and whether they have any food allergies.
One of the best features about their online quiz is there is no pressure to enter personal information; those questions can be skipped over if you are not ready to enter your information and are just gathering information. They will provide you with a recommendation and the cost, without collecting your information, although we highly recommend that you enter your email address in order to get a discount off your purchase.
If your vet has recommended switching your pet to a senior pet food, or if your pet is turning his nose up at his plate, then you may want to try switching his food to something new. If you are unsure if switching your pet’s food is right for your pet, you should consult your vet or read our article before making the switch.
If you are ready to try something new, then we suggest you take a look at Open Farm.
With your help, we can keep senior pets out of shelters and place them in loving, caring homes. Your gift can help save senior pets from an uncertain future.
