Finding the Best Food for a Border Collie's Golden Years

As our beloved pets enter their senior years, the choice of diet becomes an important consideration in maintaining their zest for life. For Jessica and her border collie Buster, the journey to finding the right senior dog food was marked by love, careful consideration, and a commitment to quality.

Buster, a 15-year-old Border Collie, was battling the inevitable challenges that come with aging. Jessica noticed significant changes in Buster's health and realized it was time to adapt his diet to his evolving needs. After thorough research and consultation, she decided on Now Fresh’s Grain-Free Turkey, Salmon, and Duck Recipe for Senior Dogs, a choice driven by its wholesome ingredients and balanced formulation.

My favorite boy, Buster, is going on in age, he’ll be 15 this October. He was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago now, and I noticed his health rapidly declining; his eyesight, his moods, his mobility. I knew I needed to slowly change his diet for something that was going to help him with his health...

Knowing the importance of a suitable diet for managing Buster's needs, she looked for something special that would not only support his healthy mobility, but also appeal to his picky taste buds.

...My mission was to find him a product that he not only enjoyed eating (world's pickiest eater) but would also improve his mobility over time and bring some life back into my pup.

Since starting Buster on Now Fresh 3 years ago, Jessica has seen him continue to thrive in his advanced years.

He is no longer running away when I pick the leash up, but pushing me out the way to be the first out the door. I couldn’t be more happier!
