Old Friend (Senior Dog)

Old Friend is one of the few senior-dog supplements that does not pretend to be a fountain of youth. It is a holistic-vet-formulated daily herbal tonic aimed at the normal slowdown of aging: stiffer joints, a softer immune response, and a slightly foggier head.

Nutra Thrive for Dogs

Nutra Thrive is the rare dog supplement with a real veterinarian's name attached and an ingredient list that reads like a longevity stack scaled down for a 70-pound retriever. It is a food topper, not a cure, and that distinction matters.
