WHY CHOOSE BDS FOR SENIOR DOG HEALTH?

At BDS Animal Health, our senior dog range addresses the four most common areas of age-related nutritional decline — joints, skin and coat, energy, and gut health — through evidence-based formulations.

  1. Joint Support for the 80% of Senior Dogs Affected by Osteoarthritis Peer-reviewed research shows over 80% of senior dogs are affected by osteoarthritis. Osteo Connect combines Glucosamine HCl, Chondroitin Sulphate, and Green-Lipped Mussel — three clinically studied ingredients that support cartilage integrity, maintain synovial fluid viscosity, and reduce joint inflammation through the omega-3 pathway.
  2. Skin and Coat Support for Age-Related Lipid Decline Senior dogs experience a natural decline in lipid metabolism, which manifests as dull coat, increased shedding, and dry or flaky skin. Luminous is clinically positioned specifically for this presentation, delivering EPA, DHA, and flaxseed-derived ALA through nano-lymphatic absorption to support epidermal barrier function and coat quality in aging dogs.
  3. Complete Daily Nutrition with 31 Vitamins and Minerals Both Energy +Plus and Premium Energy Drink provide hydrolysed whey protein (85% human-grade), Glucosamine HCl, and 31 essential vitamins and minerals — supporting daily nutritional completeness in senior dogs whose appetite or absorption capacity may have declined with age.
  4. Gut Health and Digestive Support Premium Energy Drink contains prebiotics to support gut microbiome balance — a particularly important consideration in senior dogs, where digestive efficiency and immune function are closely linked to gut health.
  5. Electrolyte Support for Hydration and Vitality Energy +Plus includes electrolytes to support hydration and cellular function — commonly under-prioritised in senior dog care but critical for maintaining energy levels and organ function in aging animals.
