Aging changes everything for a dog's nutritional requirements — and standard adult food simply wasn't designed for what a 7, 8, or 10-year-old dog needs. Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Mature Consult is the vet-exclusive nutrition formula developed specifically for the overlapping challenges of canine aging: heart health, cognitive changes, joint comfort, kidney support, and maintaining optimal weight as metabolism slows.
The aging-specific nutritional approach:
- Supplemental amino acids (L-carnitine, taurine) — support cardiac muscle function and energy metabolism
- Antioxidant complex — combats oxidative stress that accelerates age-related cellular damage
- EPA/DHA — supports joint comfort and cardiovascular health simultaneously
- L-tryptophan and phosphatidylserine — support cognitive function and reduce anxiety-related behavioral changes common in aging dogs
- Controlled sodium — reduces strain on aging cardiovascular systems and early-stage kidney function
Available in: Standard, Large Breed, and Moderate Calorie (for cats), in dry and wet loaf formats.
Your vet will recommend Mature Consult based on your dog's age, breed size, and current health status — it's particularly valuable as a preventive intervention in dogs showing early signs of renal, cardiac, or cognitive changes.
