Senior PLUS Kibble Formula
(Super Premium, Oven-Baked Kibble Adult Dog Food)

With Chondrotin Sulfate & Glucosamine

Your older dog has different needs from a young, active puppy or young adult dog, and Flint River Ranch has developed a formula to address them! Flint River Ranch Senior PLUS Dog Food is formulated with a wholesome and rich source of Glucosamine and Chondrotin Sulfate that helps maintain healthy joint cartilage in older, mature dogs. Designed to help stimulate your dog's body to produce more glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), Senior PLUS formula may help with the hydration of joints because of the polyanionic characteristics, providing the lubrication needed in joints for proper function.

Flint River Ranch Senior PLUS dog food is a natural, healthy way to feed your dog as part of a complete care program supervised by your veterinarian. There is no need to wait for the symptoms of arthritis or cartilage damage in the knee or elbow joints.

Senior PLUS Dog Food

With a patented process, our Flint River Ranch Senior and Mature Adult Oven-baked Kibble has been formulated with a wholesome and rich source of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate that helps maintain healthy joint cartilage in older, mature dogs.

This is a functional food, rather than the traditional oral pill form, that may serve to inhibit cartilage degradation by helping to stimulate the body's ability to produce more GAG'S (glycosaminoglycans). The cartilage make up of the Senior PLUS formula may help with the hydration of joints because of the polyanionic characteristics, thus the lubrication needed in joints for proper function. It is not a substitute for professional treatment, but a supportive means to assist with canine discomfort.

The Flint River Ranch Senior Plus lite dog food formula has been scientifically developed for older or less active dogs as a natural, healthy and holistic way to feed your dog as part of a complete care program supervised by your veterinarian. The formula is not a substitute for professional treatment; rather, the PLUS formula is a supportive means to assist with canine discomfort.

The Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate-fortified Senior PLUS formula is formulated to:

  • Help lubricate joints.
  • Provide a mechanism for nutrient absorption.
  • Support anti-inflammatory effects on joints.
  • Help regulate activity on cartilage.
  • Inhibit enzymes that break down cartilage.
  • Help maintain ideal weight with lower fat and fewer calories.
  • Offer the same great taste and smell of our regular dog food formulas.

FEEDING GUIDE

Because Flint River Ranch premium dog food formulas are nutrient-dense, you should feed 20%-25% less than regular dog foods. Each serving delivers maximum nutrition without unnecessary fillers, so you'll also notice a lower stool volume and less clean-up.

It's best to introduce Flint River Ranch Super Premium foods by mixing with your dog's current food and increasing the amount of Flint River Ranch over several days. It will take time for your dog to adjust to the rich, easy to digest, all natural quality. A sudden change in any food source may be a shock to your dog's digestive system. You may notice loose stool. If so, reduce the amount being fed until your dog adjusts.

Feed your dog once or twice a day unless the breed is prone to bloating or excessive weight gain (obesity), in which case we recommend feeding three smaller meals throughout the day. Food requirements vary depending on climate, breed of dog and exercise activity. Feed an amount that will maintain your dog's weight, and make sure to always have fresh water available.

CHONDROITIN SULFATE A & C - GLUCOSAMINE

The most common problems dogs encounter as they age include osteoarhritis, rheumatism, schleroderma and arthritic diseases. Genetic disorders include Elbow Dysplaysia, Herniated Disc, Myasthenia Gravis, Degenerative Myelopathy, Osteochondritis Dissecans, Panosteitis and Leg-Calve Perthes Disease. Signs include pain, lameness, reluctance to climb stairs, stiffness, joint distortion, wobbly and uncoordinated gait.

Different practitioners favor different combinations of treatment from herbs, homeopathic preparations, nutrition, acupuncture, chiropractic therapy, surgery and medication to help manage the pain and inflammation. Emphasis should be on a good, diagnostic work-up before initiating any treatment. Check with your Veterinarian.

Management of the patient's pain and stiffness is essentially management of the arthritis, as nothing can be done to correct the underlying problems of joint laxity or to reverse the degeneration of the bones. On the other hand, alleviating the inflammation and pain of arthritis without negative side effects is often enough to restore function to the joint and a meaningful quality of life.

Cartilage-derived mucopolysaccharides as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates A and C have been found helpful in relieving inflammation and may even reverse the degenerative process in some dogs. It does this by nourishing the cartilage and increasing viscosity of the synovial fluid - the joint's lubricating system - thereby reducing friction and pain. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates attract fluid into the joint's cartilage system and help the body repair damaged joints while keeping the cartilage destroying enzymes under control - equal or better results than anti-inflammatory drugs. Mucopolysaccharides are being prescribed increasingly by conventional as well as holistic veterinarians. In tablet form of 150 mg - 100 tablets can be extremely expensive.

Along this line - Flint River Ranch has been active in research on a natural source of Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine (patient pending) - that stimulate the immune system and acts as an angiogenesis inhibitor - may help improve joint flexibility and increase mobility and support of healthy joints.

Currently, Flint River Ranch offers Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine products in two forms:

  • Jubilee Wafer: An oven-baked dog health treat in wafer biscuit shape with 140 mg per biscuit. (about 750 mg per cup).
  • Senior Plus: An oven-baked dog health food formulated with a wholesome and rich source of Glucosamine and Chondroitin (250 mg/cup Glucosamine and 100 mg/cup Chondroitin).

There's no need to wait for the symptoms of arthritis or cartilage damage in the knee or elbow joints — ensure your mature, inactive, or overweight dogs maintain healthy and pain-free lifestyles by supplementing their regular diet with Jubilee Wafers!

You can also ensure your genetically-predisposed young adult dog maintains a long, healthy, pain-free lifestyle by regularly providing him or her with the tasty Jubilee Wafer treats. These dog breeds commonly inherit the following health issues and can benefit from Jubilee Wafers:

Degenerative Joint Disease and Osteoarthritis: Many large and giant breed dogs, especially Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Great Danes, Doberman Pinschers, Mastiffs, St. Bernards, and Newfoundlands

In some cases, about 50 percent of these larger breeds are affected.
