Grain-Free Senior Working Dog Food with Turkey
As working dogs grow older, their nutritional requirements can begin to change. They may be a little less active than they once were, while maintaining muscle condition, healthy joints and good digestion becomes increasingly important.
Our Turkey, Sweet Potato & Cranberry Senior Working Dog Food is a grain-free recipe specifically designed for older dogs.
Made with 50% turkey, including a minimum of 26% freshly prepared turkey, it provides high-quality animal protein alongside carefully selected ingredients designed to support your dog throughout their senior years.
With 27% protein, 9% fat, added Omega 3, digestive prebiotics and a dedicated Joint Care Pack, it is an excellent choice for older working dogs that still enjoy an active life but whose nutritional requirements are beginning to change.
50% Turkey
Turkey makes up 50% of this senior recipe and provides a rich source of animal protein.
Protein supplies essential amino acids and plays an important role in maintaining muscle and normal body function throughout a dog’s life.
With 27% crude protein, this recipe continues to provide your senior dog with plenty of quality protein rather than dramatically reducing protein simply because they are getting older.
Moderate Fat for Older Working Dogs
This recipe contains 9% crude oils and fats and provides approximately 343 kcal of metabolisable energy per 100g.
Older dogs can become less active as they age, which can change their energy requirements. A more moderate fat content can therefore be useful for senior working dogs that no longer have the same workload as they did in their younger years.
Every dog is different, however. Feeding amounts should always be adjusted according to your dog’s activity, body condition, age and individual requirements.
Joint Care for Senior Dogs
Years of running, training and working place demands on a dog’s joints.
That’s why our senior turkey recipe contains a dedicated Joint Care Pack, including:
- Glucosamine
- Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
- Chondroitin sulphate
These ingredients are included to help support cartilage and healthy joint function in senior dogs.
For older working dogs that still enjoy long walks, training or regular work, joint support can be an important consideration when choosing their food.
Grain-Free with Sweet Potato
This recipe is made without added grain and uses ingredients including sweet potato and potato as alternative carbohydrate sources.
Sweet potato provides a complex carbohydrate source and also contains naturally occurring vitamins and fibre.
A grain-free recipe can be a useful option for owners specifically looking to avoid grain in their dog’s diet or for dogs that do not get on well with certain grain-containing foods.
Not every dog requires a grain-free diet, so food should always be selected according to your individual dog’s needs.
Digestive Support with MOS and FOS
Good digestion remains important throughout a dog’s life.
This recipe contains the prebiotics:
MOS – Mannan-oligosaccharides
FOS – Fructo-oligosaccharides
These are included to help support beneficial gut bacteria and healthy digestion.
The recipe also contains beet pulp and other carefully selected ingredients as part of its balanced formulation.
Added Omega 3
Added Omega 3 helps support normal skin and coat condition.
This is particularly useful in a food designed for older dogs, where maintaining general condition is just as important as providing energy.
No Artificial Colours or Preservatives
Our Turkey, Sweet Potato & Cranberry Senior Working Dog Food contains no artificial colours or preservatives.
The food is naturally preserved using rosemary extract.

Changing Your Dog to Senior Working Dog Food
When changing your dog’s food, introduce the new recipe gradually.
Start by replacing a small proportion of their existing food with the new senior food and gradually increase the amount over several days.
A gradual transition gives your dog’s digestive system time to adjust.
Always provide plenty of fresh drinking water.
How Much Should I Feed My Senior Dog?
The amount your dog needs depends on more than body weight alone.
Factors including:
- age
- breed
- activity
- workload
- body condition
- environment
can all influence their daily requirements.
A retired working dog may require considerably less energy than a dog of the same age that still works regularly.
Use the feeding guide as a starting point and adjust the quantity according to your dog’s body condition and lifestyle.
