The Nature's Hug food for large and medium-breed senior dogs is a fully plant-based kibble, formulated for aging large dogs. Highly digestible, with an adapted protein/fat profile (24% / 10%) and a PROHAIR system to support skin health and coat shine throughout the senior years.
🌱 100% plant-based, with PROHAIR system for skin and coat
Specially formulated for large senior dogs that tend to lose coat shine with age. No meat, no fish, no grain.
✨ What is the PROHAIR system?
It's the combination of key nutrients for skin and coat: omega-3 (flaxseed, algae), vitamin E (antioxidant), biotin (an essential cofactor for keratin) and zinc. Combined with antioxidant superfoods (turmeric, blueberries, pomegranate), this system helps maintain a shiny coat and healthy skin, even as age advances and the coat begins to dull.
⚡ Why an adjusted profile for seniors?
With age, the dog slows its metabolism and activity level. To help prevent weight gain while preserving muscle mass, the formula provides quality protein (24%) and reduced fat (10%). It's the healthy balance for the senior years.

Here are some guidelines for a medium or large-breed senior dog (adjust as needed based on activity level and body condition):
| Dog weight | Daily ration (approximate) |
|---|---|
| 15 kg (33 lb) | 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 cups |
| 25 kg (55 lb) | 2 to 2 1/2 cups |
| 35 kg (77 lb) | 2 1/2 to 3 1/4 cups |
| 45 kg (99 lb) | 3 to 4 cups |
These are guidelines. For the right amount for your dog, contact our team. Fresh water should always be available.
For large breeds, the switch happens earlier than for small dogs: 6 to 8 years depending on the breed. The larger the dog, the earlier senior age begins. Signs include: slowing down, loss of muscle mass, joint stiffness, a dulling coat. Contact us if you're unsure.
Yes. The omega-3 + vitamin E + biotin + zinc combination directly targets the mechanisms that affect skin and coat. After 4 to 8 weeks of transition, most owners notice a softer, shinier coat and less dandruff.
Yes, as long as the recipe is complete and well formulated. It can even be gentler on the dog's digestive system. For large seniors with food sensitivities developed with age, it's often an excellent solution.
After the transition (10-14 days), allow 4 to 8 weeks to see effects on the coat and digestion.
Nature's Hug is a Canadian brand we appreciate for its unique philosophy and rigorous formulation. The PROHAIR system for large seniors is a real plus when the coat starts to dull. Have a question about the transition? Our team will be happy to help.
