My two dogs love their Bugsy’s treats. My Daschund Esther is 14 and has “Catch me if you can” * Zoey our 12 month old Cavoodle has “Running Wild”. They also love “Moo Moo” & “Fish Nibbles”. I stocked up so that we won’t run out! Very happy with these products.”

Big Boy had them years ago for training and we kept going with them all this time - we can't say enough about Bugsy's Treats. They're a quality treat, quality company and quality service. I love being a customer of such a great business. Thanks guys!

Our Abby LOVES Bugsy's Air Dried Beef Formula - much much more than the 'competitor' brand we used to buy before we discovered Bugsy's. Now, She literally comes running into the kitchens and starts tap dancing every time she hears the Bugsy's bag open! I feel confident feeding her this every day because she digests it beautifully and, unlike other options you see out there, there's absolutely no nasties. Thanks so much Bugsy's!

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?! Molly has a paw shake for everyone when the Bugsy's treats come out... she just adores them! She just adores them and I am happy knowing hoe good they are for her!

These treats are highly prized in our house! Mabel and George know they've both been good doggies when they get them. They go crazy for crispy chicken! They absolutely love it - spins, shake hands and paws up all done without asking for some of these treats! That's how yummy they are!

Frequently Asked Questions
When is a dog considered a senior?
There is no single age at which every dog becomes senior. Larger breeds generally reach their senior years earlier than smaller breeds. Your dog’s breed, size, health and individual ageing process should all be considered when assessing changing nutritional needs.
When a Dog Is Considered Senior
Short answer: Usually around 7 years, but it depends on size and each individual dog is different. The American Animal Hospital Association (“AAHA”) defines senior as the last 25% of a breed’s expected lifespan.
By size (typical)
Small / toy (under 10 kg): ~10–12 years
Medium (10–25 kg): ~8–10 years
Large (25–45 kg): ~7–8 years
Giant (45 kg+): ~5–6 years
What supplements may be useful for older dogs?
Supplements for older dogs may target joint health, mobility, skin and coat condition, digestion or general nutritional wellbeing. The most appropriate option depends on the individual dog, their existing diet and any specific concerns identified by their veterinarian.
How do I choose a supplement for a senior dog?
When selecting a supplement for senior dogs, check its intended purpose, active ingredients, serving instructions and suitability for your dog. Consider existing food and supplements as well, since combining products can result in unnecessary duplication of certain nutrients or ingredients.
Are natural supplements suitable for senior dogs?
Natural supplements for senior dogs can form part of a senior care routine when appropriately formulated and used as directed. The word natural does not automatically indicate effectiveness or suitability, so ingredient quality, dosage and your dog’s individual requirements remain important.
Can senior dogs take more than one supplement?
Sometimes, but different products may contain overlapping ingredients. Before combining supplements for aging dogs, review each formulation carefully. Veterinary guidance is particularly important if your dog has an existing health condition or is taking prescription medication.
Do senior dog supplements replace a balanced diet?
No. Supplements are intended to complement appropriate everyday nutrition rather than replace it. A complete and balanced diet should remain the foundation of senior feeding, with targeted supplements added where they suit the dog’s individual nutritional requirements.
