The Senior Wellness Collection

Calm-K9 Max Strength Senior Boost is usually rapid acting and some changes can be seen straight away. However, just like humans, all dogs are different and others might take longer to see imporvements so we recommend allowing up to 50 days.

Yes! The only thing that affects the daily dosage of Calm-K9 Max Strength Senior Boost is your dog’s size. See our feeding info chart for more details.

Please Note:
Calm-K9 Max Strength Senior Boost should not be used in conjunction with SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) unless explicitly approved by your veterinarian. Always consult with your vet before introducing new supplements to your dog's regimen, especially if your dog is on prescription medications.

Yes! This works with any diet. The formula is gluten free and is designed to assist your dog’s gut – not upset it!

We’ve produced Calm-K9 Senior Boost Max Strength as a powder supplement so it can easily be added to your dog’s daily food. Simply measure and mix! We love to spread ours on K9-Calm Mats for an extra calming boost.

To make sure your training is on the right track we send you a free training eBook with every pouch. We want you to have the BEST and QUICKEST chance of success and so we highly recommend adding training to your weekly routine.

Plus, our FREE Senior Dog Bible eBook will give you some super simple, quick and easy ideas and ways you can best support your senior dog’s wellness through their golden years.

As with many superfoods, much of the evidence for their benefits comes from research in humans. However, canine cognitive decline shares several characteristics with human Alzheimer’s disease [1-3].

Lemon balm, a key ingredient in Calm-K9 Senior Boost, has been shown to improve cognitive function and reduce agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline in humans [4,5]. Studies have also indicated that lemon balm can enhance cognitive performance and mood in healthy, young individuals [6].

Calm-K9 Senior Boost contains a blend of antioxidants and B-vitamins that have demonstrated cognition-enhancing effects [7,8]. Additionally, phosphatidyl choline supports neurological health by reinforcing cell structure and aiding in the production of neurotransmitters [9].

This formula also includes L-tryptophan and probiotics, which contribute further to gut and cognitive health. Details on these ingredients can be found in the Calm-K9 product description.

Yes. Calm-K9 Senior Boost is formulated to specifically target the signs of ageing in senior dogs, but it can be fed to an adult dog of any age, if you wish. However, don't forget that we also have Calm-K9 Max Strength, which is the formulation for younger dogs!

As Calm-K9 Senior Boost is centrally-acting, to be safe, we recommend stopping Calm-K9 Max Strength & Calm-K9 Senior Boost Max Strength 3 days before the operation and picking up again 3 days after. All other supplements can be given the day before and restarted after 48 hours.

Just like humans, as our dogs age, their joints age too. And once one joint is stiff, our dogs start to move differently, increasing the wear and tear on their other joints, so those become stiff too.

So often, older dogs - and even younger dogs who have sustained injury, or those with a disability - find themselves in a vicious cycle of stiffness and reduced movement, and then, the less they move, the stiffer they become!

Seeing our dogs struggle with mobility and grow older is hard. That’s why our team of vets and expert nutritionists put their heads together to create a joint supplement bursting with active ingredients to not only support the natural production of joint lubricant, but also to boost the body’s own anti-inflammatory processes!

Whether you’re protecting your dog’s joints as a puppy (6 months and older) or supporting them as they age, adding Flexi-K9 Max Strength to their diet will help keep them moving, strong and flexible – for as long as possible!

Flexi-K9 Max Strength contains a blend of ingredients designed to support joint health and reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis in dogs:

Green Lipped Mussel

Clinical studies have demonstrated its beneficial effects on movement and its ability to reduce signs of osteoarthritis [1].

Omega-3

Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory substances and cartilage-damaging enzymes in the body, supporting joint health [2].

Turmeric

Studies suggest that curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent for dogs suffering from osteoarthritis [3, 4].

Boswellia

In humans with osteoarthritis, research indicates that Boswellia may:

• Relieve pain and stiffness.
• Improve joint function.
  Studies also suggest that Boswellia helps prevent the deterioration of cartilage and joint tissue [2, 5-7].

No! While the Flexi-K9 Max Strength powder has a tasty chicken taste, the flavouring we use is totally vegetarian and chicken is not included in Flexi-K9 Max Strength.

Lavender has been used for centuries for its soothing qualities to reduce stress and calm anxiety. Studies have shown that the essential oils in Lavender may lower cortisol levels, heart rate and blood pressure, hence reducing anxiety and its effects. The lavender aroma can even increase delta waves, creating a sense of calm and help sleep.

Valerian is an herb that has been used for centuries to reduce anxiety and calm. It is thought that the compound that is contained in Valerian, valerenic acid works on GABA receptors to reduce anxiolytic effects. In addition, valepotriates that give valerian its distinctive smell seem to have a similar effect of reducing anxiety.

The essential oils of Rosemary contain a wide range of compounds which seem to be responsible for its anxiolytic effects. It has also been shown to improve sleep quality and mood. Further studies have also shown that it may improve cognitive function.

Chamomileis a daisy-like plant most commonly used to make tea and has long been associated with calming and reducing anxiety. Low levels of GABA accompany anxiety disorders and it is thought that chamomile may have a positive effect on GABA metabolism hence providing an anxiolytic effect.

Skullcap is a herb that has been used in traditional herbal medicine for its potential calming and anxiolytic effects. It is thought to have some influence on the GABA pathways by binding to GABA receptors whist also seemingly having an effect on serotonin and dopamine which are both associated with mood regulation.

Piper methysticum has been traditionally used for its anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) properties. It contains kavalactones which seem to have a variety of effects on the body including GABA enhancement which is a neurotransmitter that regulates brain activity. It is also involved in the reduction of norepinephrine which is the neurotransmitter responsible for the flight or fight response whilst also acting as a muscle relaxant.
