Nestlé Purina PetCare, St. Louis, MO, has unveiled a new formula for its Purina ONE Vibrant Maturity 7+ Senior dry dog food that contains a blend of enhanced botanical oils designed to improve brain function of older dogs. According to the company, the technology behind this innovation offers neuron-targeted nutrition to help the older dog’s brain cells work more like when they were younger. In a series of cognitive tests, research confirmed that the 12 dogs that ate a super premium dry dog food formulated with the special blend of enhanced botanical oils showed improvement in their brain function, including memory, learning and reasoning compared to senior dogs in the control group. The formula also contains glucosamine, omega fatty acids and vitamin E.
