Promote your dog's mental performance with Purina PRO PLAN Age Defence. From approximately 9 years of age, a small dog's brain begins to change how it metabolises glucose, which can affect memory, learning, attention, and decision-making. Purina PRO PLAN Age Defence contains a patented blend of nutrients proven to help improve curiosity and responsiveness by supporting cognitive function, with visible results within 30 days.

Purina PRO PLAN Age Defence dry dog food is made with high quality chicken pieces as the first ingredient, and adapted protein and fat levels to help your dog stay in top shape during his golden years. Each Age Defence Formula also contains specific levels of botanical oils proven to help support cognitive function in the brain and promote alertness, mental sharpness, and family interaction in dogs 9 years and older. Glucosamine and EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid, help support the mobility of your dog's joints for healthy ageing.

Purina PRO PLAN Age Defence SMALL & MINI ADULT 9+ has been developed for ageing adult dogs of small and mini breeds (weighing less than 10 kg). This dry dog food contains vitamin D, minerals and specific levels of omega-3 fatty acids to help support healthy teeth and gums, as well as ingredients proven to help reduce tartar build up by 36%. It is rich in high quality chicken with adapted protein and fat levels to provide for the changing needs of your maturing dog and should be fed to dogs aged 9 and older.

Loving it
4/5

Trying this out as part of a campaign. So far so good. My dog, Buster, likes it and eats every morsel. Was easy to move him over to the new food. No upset tummy or any effects. Only been on the new food for a few days so still too early to notice any improvements yet, but as he’s an old dog may take a bit for the benefits of the food to kick and improvements in his health to be noticeable. Though there’s still time yet.
Will wait a bit longer before deciding if buying in the future.

Great
5/5

I’ve been using this a few weeks and my chihuahua loves it. I mixed it with his current food as advised but he left his current food and ate all of this.

He’s taken to this new god really well and it seems great so far. I’ll be buying it again. It’s a great size. Nice and small for older small doggies.

Great for small mouths!
5/5

I have a fussy 9yr old Chug and after a fortnight of him eating Prop Plan Optiage he seems to love it! The kibble is very small so perfect for small mouths! He has been eating the Pro Plan Optiage both with wet food and alone and always finishes his meal. I gradually introduced the food into his past diet, just in case it gave him a bad tummy, but he was just fine and is now completely on the Pro Plan Optiage kibble. I would definitely recommend!

Dinner has become exciting again!
5/5

We swapped on to this food about 3weeks ago and my Jack Russell simply can't wait for breakfast & dinner now! In just this short space of time I have noticed the difference in Alfie's behaviour, he's more eager to be active! He hasn't jumped on the bed since a fall in the snow but now he's racing upstairs and jumping up each morning, he's also wanting to play far more! Thanks Purina I've got my young dog back...no one tell him he's 9!
