As our equine companions enter their golden years, it becomes essential to provide them with the right nutrition to maintain their health and quality of life. The Hungry Puppy, a trusted pet and farm supply store serving the community since 1987, understands this need and offers a wide range of products that cater to the nutritional requirements of senior horses. Today, we will focus on Purina's extensive line of horse feed specifically designed to support the wellbeing of your retired equine companion.
* Nutrition for the Golden Years
Retired horses have unique nutritional needs. As they age, their metabolism slows down, and they may have difficulty chewing and digesting certain types of food. They may also struggle to maintain a healthy weight. Purina has carefully formulated feed products to meet these challenges and ensure your horse maintains a balanced diet.
* Top Purina Products for Retired Horses
One of our top recommendations for senior horses is the **Purina 50# Equine Senior**. This product is packed with essential nutrients to support the overall health and wellbeing of older horses. It includes added vitamins and minerals, high-quality protein for muscle maintenance, and antioxidants for a robust immune system.
The **Purina 50# Equine Senior Active** is another excellent option for horses that are still moderately active in their retirement. This formula includes Amplify Nugget, providing higher fat for added stamina and weight maintenance in aging horses.
For horses with metabolic issues, we recommend the **Purina 50# Wellsolve L/S Low Starch Pel**. This feed is low in starch and sugars, making it suitable for horses that need to manage their blood sugar levels.
* Practical Tips for Feeding Retired Horses
When feeding your retired horse, remember to adjust the feed based on its body condition, weight, and activity level. Regular dental check-ups are important as chewing can become difficult for older horses. If your horse has difficulty chewing, consider switching to a pelleted or complete feed like the **Purina 50# Ultium Senior**, which is easy to chew and digest.
Ensure your horse has access to clean, fresh water at all times. Dehydration can lead to serious health issues, especially for senior horses. Regular exercise, even light activity, can help keep your horse's digestive system functioning properly and maintain a healthy weight.
