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%.

Reviews
My 11 year old Shih tzu, Poppy has been enjoying Optiage from Purina for just over a week now. She absolutely loves the flavour of the kibble and hoovers it up in no time. Considering she can be quite fussy, this was a huge relief for me. I am hopeful that the food is supporting Poppy’s Cognitive health as well as her physical health. I have started to test Poppy with some little trials and tricks which I’m hoping she’s going to be able to pick up! I would highly recommend for fussy older dogs
my dog ate it at first but has now started to reject the food but i will keep trying to feed it to her as long as she will eat it.failing that i will put her back to wet food
Product just arrived midweek so two fussy shihtzus had their first meal yesterday.I mixed with a little cooked meat as this is how they usually take their dried food.Straight to their bowls & no problems tucking in,despite the change.Two happy,normally fussy shihtzus seemed impressed initially,so long may it continue.As the older dog is poorly it’s good to see an empty bowl.
Since I started feeding my dog Purina pro plan I have noticed that his coat is smoother than before and he seems to be a lot fitter. He also enjoys it so much that he never leaves his dish until it is empty.
