Small kibble isn't just for small breed dogs. Dogs of all sizes may prefer a small bite size because of the easy to chew kibble with guaranteed great taste.* Natural Choice Small Bites Senior is unique because it provides superior nutrition and taste while being highly digestible and easy on the stomach. Using a special blend of poultry fat, soybean oil, and sunflower oil to provide high levels of linoleic acid (min 3.5%) and alpha-linolenic acid (min 0.3%), these omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids have been combined with other key vitamins and minerals to help provide the healthy skin and shiny coat that shows the love and care you give your dog.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin – Natural Building Blocks of Healthy Joints
As dogs age, good nutrition is important for healthy joints. Research shows that these two nutrients help maintain joint cartilage.

Rice and Wholesome Oatmeal for Energy
High quality carbohydrates that are so good for your dog's stamina and energy. Rice is the most digestible cereal grain. Oatmeal is easy on the stomach.

Chicken is the Only Meat Protein
High quality chicken protein for muscle development and body maintenance. Fewer meat and grain ingredients mean less opportunity for digestive upset.

Chelated Minerals for Added Health
Chelated minerals get into your senior dog's system more efficiently. By providing chelated zinc, good for healthy skin and coat, and chelated manganese to help maintain joint health, Natural Choice Small Bites Senior can help your senior dog stay healthy.

Small Stool Volume
A unique fiber system and high digestibility means small compact stools for easy cleanup. That means more nutrition for your senior dog.

Guaranteed to Improve Skin and Coat
With high levels of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, combined with other key vitamins and minerals, we guarantee your dog will have healthy skin and shiny coat.

Guaranteed Great Taste*
All the nutrition in the world won't do your dog any good if he won't eat it. So we guarantee the great taste of Natural Choice Small Bites Senior. You can be sure your dog will eat enough to meet its nutritional requirements.*

Senior Support System™
As dogs age, they may begin to experience memory loss, short temper, and diminished interest in food. Our Senior Support System™ helps address these changes using our unique fatty acid blend with Choline to provide nutrients for cognitive and vision support.

Alpha-Linolenic Acid
Our exclusive system featuring Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) helps support nervous system functions, vision, and brain function. Linoleic Acid and ALA help reduce shedding and provide added skin & coat nourishment for your dog.

Natural Ingredients with Vitamins & Minerals
Using natural ingredients with vitamins and minerals, Natural Choice Small Bites Senior does not use chicken heads, feet or intestines which may be found in products that contain chicken by-product meal. Natural Choice does not contain ground corn, which is less digestible than the rice used in Natural Choice.
