In the senior years, your older dog needs the benefits of highly digestible, premium-quality nutrition more than ever. Iams Senior Formula for Dogs has plenty of protein to maintain muscle mass. This protein is balanced with enough fat to give your dog the energy needed to remain healthy and active, without excess fat than can lead to weight gain. Crunchy, Easy-to-Chew Pieces Help Keep Teeth Clean. The size and thickness of Iams Senior kibbles has been specially adapted to the needs of older dogs. Each kibble is thin enough to be easy to chew, yet crunchy enough to provide the important cleaning action that can help keep teeth clear of tartar and plaque. Antioxidants to Help Keep Immune System Healthy. The immune systems of older dogs may not be as strong as they once were, so Iams Senior is formulated with optimum levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants, including Beta-Carotene and Vitamin E, are critical for maintaining a healthy immune system. Outstanding nutrition starts with wholesome ingredients. Rich in chicken that's easy to digest, Iams cooks wholesome, nutrient-rich chicken into every kibble to provide the protein your dog needs to nourish his muscles, vital organs, skin and coat. Iams uses carefully selected, high-quality chicken that is easy on the whole digestive system. So your dog gets all of the essential amino acids to stay healthy and active. Patented Blend of Healthy Carbohydrates and Gentle Fiber: Iams Senior contains a patented blend of select, healthy grains that provide a source of the carbohydrates your dog needs for sustained energy. This unique combination of whole grain, including barley and grain sorghum, formulated according to a patent (patent number pending), helps even out energy highs and lows by maintaining normal blood sugar levels. It also helps senior dogs maintain a healthy weight. Iams Senior is also formulated with a patented fiber source to help keep your dog's digestive system healthy and enhance its ability to absorb nutrients, so more age-essential nutrients stay in your dog. Energy For Life. Although older dogs may need less fat to control their weight, it's important not to eliminate this vital nutrient completely. Fat is an important source of the essential energy needed for vital functions such as breathing, digestion, and the beating of the heart. Fat helps keep the skin and coat healthy. It also plays an important role in the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Iams Senior has a low fat level for weight control, but still provides enough fat to nourish your dog's vital functions. Animal feeding tests using Association of American Feed Control Officials' procedures substantiate that Iams Senior provides complete and balanced nutrition for maintenance.
