Top 5 Senior Dog Foods For Older Boxers

Older boxers have different nutritional requirements than younger dogs. Feeding him a senior type dog food will meet his dietary needs.

The Aging Boxer

As your boxer grows older, his nutritional requirements change due to the fact that he isn't as active as he once was and because of aging issues. When your boxer begins to age, it is important that you feed him a senior type dog food that will give him all the necessary nutrients to keep him healthy and happy.

Keeping your boxers weight under control is a key factor. Boxers are prone to developing arthritis as they get older and the added weight puts more stress on their arthritic joints. Feeding your boxer a dog food with added glucosamine and chondroitin supplements will help with joint problems. A dog food that contains vegetables gives your boxer plenty of fiber without all the calories. Vitamin and mineral supplements are also important for overall health.

Feeding a nutritious senior dog food will keep your boxer healthy in his golden years, which is important to prevent illness and disease which can be fatal for an older dog. These top 5 senior dog foods for older boxers contain the necessary ingredients that these dogs need in their diet.
