Carbohydrates
Crude fat is an essential component of a dog's diet, including older dogs, as it provides energy and supports skin and coat health. However, the amount and type of fat should be carefully monitored, as older dogs may have lower energy needs and may be prone to obesity. It's important to choose high-quality fats and consult with a veterinarian to ensure the diet meets the specific health requirements of the older dog. Balancing fat intake with other nutrients is key to maintaining their overall health.
Older adults (OAPs) need a balanced diet rich in key nutrients to support their health. Important nutrients include protein for muscle maintenance, calcium and vitamin D for bone health, and fiber to aid digestion. Additionally, B vitamins, particularly B12, are crucial for energy and cognitive function. Hydration is also essential, as older adults may have a diminished sense of thirst.
