When our equine partners and trusted companions reach their golden years, their nutritional needs change. Maintaining good health requires consistent and complete nutrition, especially when their dental condition deteriorates and they can no longer effectively chew hay or pasture. Equine Senior® horse feed is carefully balanced with built-in hay to provide fiber that is easy to chew and digest to help meet the aging horse’s nutritional needs and support good health for years to come.
Four out of five equine veterinarians recommend Purina’s Equine Senior® Horse Feed to their clients with senior horses, according to an independent study conducted in 2019
