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.

Happy Jack
5/5

Have just finished feeding my 9 year old Jack Russell this product over a 30 day period. I am usually sceptical about claims made by companies in relation to myself or my pets, but I have been pleasantly surprised. My dog can be a bit stubborn when it comes to changing his brand of food, but from the get go, his tailed wagged excitedly and he demolished his first bowl in seconds. I have noticed a change in his alertness and energy levels, even with the recent hot weather, where he would normally be more lethargic. It has had a knock on effect to me, as a happy pet, who interacts more, makes a very happy owner. I will keep Mini Adult 9+ with Optiage as part of my dogs diet.

A dog favourite..
3/5

... but nothing else. My dog absolutely loved the food. He’s hit and miss withfood especially dry food, but he ate this straight away no problems. For the price I wouldn’t buy it again as I didn’t see any improvement that’s suggested by my dog eating this product.

Elderly shih tzu not keen
3/5

Tried all ways to get 13 year old Coco to eat this dry food but didn’t have too much success. Even tried mixing it in with her usual wet food but she managed to eat round most of the biscuits! She has eaten a small amount daily though & I think it has improved her energy & digestion.

5/5

Tried this since a few weeks on my ageing dog Ruby. Mealtimes are as fast as she has become. Get the bag out and she's at my feet waiting. Ruby is happy with this food alone. Previous food had to have extras added to entice her to eat. It's a 10 out of 10 from Ruby
