Is Smallbatch pet food good for senior dogs and cats?Updated a month ago
Yes — all Smallbatch complete diets are formulated for All Life Stages, which includes senior pets. Raw and lightly cooked diets can be particularly well-suited for older animals for a few reasons:
- High moisture content supports kidney function — especially important as pets age
- Bioavailable protein from whole-food meat sources helps maintain muscle mass
- No fillers or processed starches means less digestive burden overall
That said, senior pets often have specific health considerations — kidney disease, joint issues, reduced digestive efficiency — that are worth discussing with your vet before making dietary changes. The right protein, fat level, and mineral balance may need to be tailored to your individual pet.
