PetAg Esbilac Healthy Aging Supplement for Dogs (14 oz)

High-Protein Powder Supplement for Heart, Muscle, Joint, Immune, Skin, and Coat Health

Product Description

Esbilac Healthy Aging is a powder supplement for adult and senior dogs aged 7 and older, delivering high-quality protein for heart and muscle support alongside omega-3 fatty acids for joints, omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat,and vitamin E for immune health. Combine one part powder with two parts warm water and add to kibble, wet food, or serve as a liquid treat. Can also be sprinkled dry over food.

Benefits

• High-Quality Protein for Heart and Muscles: The formula delivers a concentrated protein blend from multiple dairy and meat sources to support the heart muscle and help maintain lean muscle mass in aging dogs.
• Omega-3 for Joint Health and Mobility: Marine microalgae oil provides omega-3 fatty acids that support joint comfort and mobility, which becomes increasingly relevant as dogs age and joint wear progresses.
• Vitamin E for Immune System Support: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that supports immune system and protects cells from oxidative stress, a growing concern in aging dogs with declining natural antioxidant defenses.
• Omega-6 for Skin and Coat Condition: Omega-6 fatty acids support skin barrier integrity and contribute to a healthier, shinier coat, addressing the coat thinning and skin dryness commonly seen in senior dogs.
• Also for Pregnant and Nursing Mothers: The formula is not restricted to seniors; pregnant and nursing dogs can use it at double the adult dose to meet their elevated nutritional demands during gestation and lactation.

Directions for Use    

• Mix powder with warm water first: Combine 1 part powder with 2 parts warm water and stir until fully dissolved before measuring the serving amount.
• Add to existing food: Spoon the mixed formula over kibble or wet food to boost palatability and nutrition.
• Serve as a liquid or dry topper: If mixing is not convenient, sprinkle the powder dry directly over food as an alternative serving method.

Additional Information

Precautions   

• For adult and senior dogs aged 7 and older: This formula is intended for mature dogs and is not formulated to meet the nutritional needs of puppies or growing dogs.
• Supplemental feeding only: This is not a complete and balanced food; always give alongside the dog's regular primary diet, not as a standalone meal replacement.
• Not for human consumption: This is a veterinary nutritional supplement for dogs; keep out of reach of children and do not use for human consumption at any time.

Storage Instructions   

• Store powder in a cool place: Keep the canister sealed and stored away from heat, direct sunlight, and moisture to maintain the quality and stability of the powder.
• Refrigerate mixed formula: Any prepared mixed formula must be refrigerated and used within 24 hours; do not leave reconstituted liquid at room temperature beyond this window.
• Keep canister covered: Reseal the canister lid firmly after each use to keep moisture and air out; an open canister allows the powder to absorb ambient moisture, which affects mixing quality.
• Do not freeze: Freezing is not recommended for either the powder or the prepared liquid formula; store at room temperature below 86°F.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does this supplement do for aging dogs?

Ans: It covers four areas that commonly decline in senior dogs: muscle and heart health through high-quality protein, joint comfort through omega-3 fatty acids from marine microalgae oil, immune function through vitamin E, and skin and coat condition through omega-6 fatty acids.

Q2: How do I calculate the correct daily amount for my dog?

Ans: First, mix the powder, 1 part powder to 2 parts warm water. Then measure the mixed formula based on your dog's weight. Adult dogs get 1 tablespoon of mixed formula per 5 lbs daily. A 50 lb dog would receive 10 tablespoons of the mixed formula daily, not 10 tablespoons of dry powder.

Q3: Can this be given dry without mixing with water?

Ans: Yes. While the primary method is to mix the powder with warm water first, the powder can also be sprinkled dry directly over kibble or wet food as an alternative. Dogs accept it either way. The dry method is more convenient for owners who prefer not to prepare the liquid formula daily, and the nutritional content is the same whether served dry or mixed.

Q4: Why does senior dogs need more protein support?

Ans: As dogs age, muscle protein synthesis becomes less efficient, the body doesn't build and repair muscle from dietary protein as effectively as it did when younger. This leads to gradual muscle loss, reduced strength, and decreased heart muscle function. Higher quality and quantity of dietary protein helps slow this process and support the muscle mass.

Q5: Can this supplement be used for pregnant or nursing dogs?

Ans: Yes. The feeding directions include a specific dose for pregnant and nursing mothers, double the adult daily amount per pound of body weight. The increased nutritional demands of pregnancy make this additional support for protein, fat, and micronutrients relevant.

Q6: What is the calorie contribution per serving?

Ans: The powder provides 20.77 kcal per tablespoon of dry powder. When calculating how this fits into your dog's daily calorie intake, count the tablespoons of dry powder used, not the volume of mixed formula, and multiply by 20.77 to get the caloric contribution of that day's supplement dose.

Q7: How should I store the prepared liquid formula?

Ans: Any prepared mixed formula must go into the fridge immediately after preparation and be used within 24 hours. Do not leave reconstituted Esbilac sitting out at room temperature; it spoils faster than the dry powder. Only prepare what your dog can consume within a single 24-hour period to avoid waste and bacterial growth in unused formula.
