(PRESS RELEASE) WILLISTON, VT — Pet nutritional supplement pioneer VetriScience Laboratories has introduced the Golden Years line of senior-specific supplements for dogs.
VetriScience Golden Years bite-sized chew supplements contain extensively researched ingredients to help combat the effects of aging in dogs of all breeds and sizes. The line of four unique supplements help pet owners address and maintain the overall physical and mental health of their dog, including VetriScience’s first-ever eye health supplement.
“We are excited to offer the Golden Years line of supplements to address the specific health and wellness issues faced by many senior dogs,” said Sara Philips, FoodScience vice president for sales and marketing, Global Pet Business. “Pet owners and retailers have asked for this kind of product, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact the supplements have on dogs to stay healthy and happy throughout their golden years.”
Golden Years Calm & Confident is specially formulated for senior dogs to help manage age-related behavioral issues and maintain quality of life. The supplement promotes mental awareness and calm behavior, and contains Sharp-PS Green (Phosphatidylserine) to improve brain function, memory and learning. Calm & Confident helps address cognitive issues such as confusion, disorientation and increased anxiousness that many older dogs develop.
Golden Years Strength & Stability supports joint flexibility, comfort, and muscle integrity for senior dogs with mobility issues due to occasional discomfort, tenderness or soreness. The supplement features L-Carnitine (Carniking), an amino acid that helps maintain muscle mass and increase energy levels. Strength & Stability also includes proven joint support ingredients such as glucosamine, Perna canaliculus and omega 3 fatty acids to keep dogs active throughout their senior years.
Golden Years Clear & Bright addresses age-related vision issues in dogs like cloudy eyes, squinting, and discharge. Clear & Bright features a powerful trio of antioxidants to support a dog’s eye health and vision. AstaReal Natural Astaxanthin is a carotenoid that may help with cloudy eyes due to lens deterioration. Grape Seed Extract is a potent antioxidant that helps prevent oxidative damage, while Bilberry Extract promotes healthy eye tissue and structure for optimal vision.
Golden Years Energize & Thrive is a comprehensive multivitamin with over 25 vet-recommended nutrients to meet the nutritional needs of senior dogs. Energize & Thrive helps counter the effects of aging with a combination of branched-chain amino acids, B vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids. This senior-specific formula supports immune and digestive functions, skin and coat health, heart and nerve function and overall wellness. Taurine is included to promote cardiovascular health and function.
Each Golden Years chew has a hydrolyzed chicken liver flavor and can be given daily as part of a dog’s ongoing supplement schedule. The supplements are suitable for dogs with dietary sensitivities. Contact your distributor for more information about Golden Years senior dog supplements.
