OF HILL’S™ SCIENCE DIET™
SENIOR VITALITY
Created specifically to help 7+ pets fight the effects of aging.
PETS AGE
MUCH FASTER
THAN PEOPLE
Because dogs and cats age more quickly than people do, major health changes can occur much earlier in their lives. Pets can be considered “middle age” when they turn 7 and “retirement age” at 11, and often develop many of the same age-related issues seen in older people.
AGING HAPPENS
FROM THE INSIDE OUT
At Hill’s, we’ve been studying how nutrition impacts pets’ cell function for over a decade. We learned the aging process is complex, slowing pets down both mentally and physically.
Pets’ Gene Activity Changes at 7 Years Old
Each column in these maps represents a different pet, and each row represents a specific gene to give us a full picture of how their cells change over time.
Compared to younger dogs and cats, older pets have different gene expression. This can affect how their bodies function, because some of those genes are associated with inflammatory processes, oxidative stress, immunity, DNA repair, energy production and protein metabolism.
Through our research we were able to identify these changes and develop Hill’s™ Science Diet™ Senior Vitality.
YOUR PET’S FOOD CANMAKE A DIFFERENCE
Hill’s™ Science Diet™ Senior Vitality was developed with the changing biology of your 7+ pet in mind. This breakthrough nutrition is made with our proprietary recipe of natural ingredients including fruits, vegetables, fatty acids and antioxidants plus added vitamins,minerals and amino acids — all working together to fight the effects of aging.
