Worth knowing before you read the word senior on the bag: AAFCO publishes no senior nutrient profile, and this food's own statement is for maintenance, the same statement an ordinary adult food carries. What actually distinguishes it is the numbers. Fat is the second lowest of the nine at an 11.0 percent minimum, calories are 3,400 per kilogram, and L-Carnitine is guaranteed at 500 mg/kg minimum, the joint highest of the group. Glucosamine is 650 mg/kg and chondroitin sulfate 240 mg/kg minimum. The guarantee also carries a live microorganism minimum of 80,000,000 CFU per pound from five named cultures, and the ingredient list includes the superfood group Diamond Naturals uses across the dry range: kale, chia seed, pumpkin, blueberries, oranges, quinoa, dried kelp, coconut, spinach, carrots and papaya. Diamond publishes no per recipe ingredient sourcing breakdown and no made in statement on this product page, which is what holds the disclosure score below ten.
