Nourish your aging canine companion with this sustainable, vegan dog food.

Do you have an aging pup in your family? While Fido may still be a puppy at heart, graying doggos have unique nutritional requirements that differ from their younger counterparts. So, treat their golden years with care and give Petaluma's new sustainable, plant-based senior dog food a try. You and your pup are going to love it!

Petaluma Introduces Plant-Based Senior Dog Food with Age-Specific Support

Petaluma recently launched its new dog food specifically designed for senior pups. This innovative senior formulation is the first of its kind, with ingredients reminiscent of those found in our own plant-based diet. Petaluma's new Baked Pumpkin & Peanut Butter Flavor baked food for senior dogs incorporates wholesome, plant-based ingredients such as fiber-rich chickpeas, pumpkin, flax, and applesauce, with a remarkable 30% of all ingredients coming from organic sources. In contrast to grain-free dog foods, Petaluma utilizes methionine-rich whole-grain, organic oats and barley which contribute to healthy energy, recognizing the efficient carbohydrate digestion of domestic dogs. The senior chow is further tailored to aging dogs with anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric and a reduced calorie content for weight maintenance as metabolisms slow. Each scoop of Petaluma senior dog food contains DHA-rich omega-3 fatty acids sourced from algae oil, curcumin extract derived from turmeric, and plant-based glucosamine.

In addition to their senior baked food, Petaluma features an adult baked formula and dehydrated chew, aka sweet potato jerky for your furry companion. Like all Petaluma products, the Baked Pumpkin & Peanut Butter Flavor senior food is backed by science with the vegan brand relying heavily on scientific data and expert consensus. Both senior and adult dog food formulations were designed by lead veterinarian, Dr. Blake Hawley, and have been extensively tested and reviewed by other board-certified veterinarians. While the senior chow is appropriate for all adult dogs, it is specifically designed for those reaching their golden years, which varies based on the dog’s size and breed.

Revolutionizing Dog Food: Petaluma's Sustainable and Humane Approach

The story of Petaluma begins in Petaluma, California, where Caroline Buck and Garrett Wymore, passionate dog lovers, joined forces with veterinarians and experts to create an environmentally friendly vegan dog food. Their mission was to develop a more sustainable dog food that not only used high-quality ingredients beneficial for pups but also ensured the humane treatment of farm workers and animals involved in the process.

Petaluma, aka the dog food of tomorrow, is at the forefront of the sustainable pet food movement. By choosing this Fido-friendly brand, you are significantly reducing your pup's environmental pawprint when compared to those who choose traditional dog food. Petaluma is a Certified B Corp, a member of the 1% for the Planet organization, and is Climate Neutral Certified, further highlighting its commitment to sustainability. Petaluma stands as a leading brand in the evolution of pet food.
