Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Barking Heads Golden Years Dog Food, including answers from our team.
Pearl Robson
I have a 10 year old boxer that is now getting heavier whilst slowing up in his walks.
I want to be careful with his weight so what would be better for him - Golden Year’s or Fat Dog Slim?
Hi there,
It will depend on how old the dog is and also how much weight the dog is putting on currently.
If the dog has just started putting on weight we would recommend going on the Golden Years and keeping a close eye on the feeding guide for the weight the dog needs to be. If the dog is prone to putting on weight rapidly and finds it difficult to shed the weight even when feeding the correct amount than Fat Dog Slim will be ideal.
Both recipes are made using the highest quality human grade ingredients with natural oils, Omega 3 & 6 so there will be no harm caused to joints or muscles when going on either recipe.
I hope this information helps.
