Pro Plan senior food
Pro Plan is a large, widely available pet food brand, and its senior range covers both dogs and cats with recipes aimed at the changing needs of an older animal — generally lower in calories than the adult range, with ingredients pitched at joint and digestive support. What we have in stock at any one time changes with what we have managed to get in that week, so the grid below is the honest answer to what we can currently order.
What 'senior' means on a Pro Plan bag
A senior recipe is generally built around fewer calories than the equivalent adult food, since older dogs and cats are typically less active and gain weight more easily. Alongside that, senior formulas often include ingredients aimed at joint support and easier digestion, reflecting the two things that most commonly change as a pet ages.
There is no single age at which every pet should switch to a senior food — it depends on the individual animal, their breed and size, and how their weight and mobility are actually holding up, which is a conversation worth having with your vet rather than switching purely on a birthday.
What we stock, and who it suits
We stock a selection from the wider Pro Plan range rather than the whole catalogue, and availability shifts with what we have managed to get in — the grid above reflects what is actually available to order right now, not the brand's full line-up.
Pro Plan's senior range tends to suit owners looking for a widely recognised, mainstream brand for an older dog or cat, rather than those chasing a specific limited-ingredient or grain-free formulation. As with any senior food, whether a particular recipe suits your pet comes down to their own age, weight and health rather than the name on the bag.

Common questions
- At what age should I switch my dog or cat to a senior food?
- There is no fixed age that applies to every pet — it depends on their breed, size and how their weight and activity level are changing. Speak to your vet about when a senior food makes sense for your particular dog or cat.
- Is Pro Plan senior food good for joints?
- Senior formulas generally include ingredients aimed at supporting joints and easier digestion, reflecting common changes as pets age, but they are not a substitute for a vet's advice if your pet already has a diagnosed joint problem.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the full Pro Plan range?
- No. We stock a selection rather than the whole range, and what's available changes with what we have managed to get in. The grid above shows what we can currently order.
- Can I switch my older pet to a senior food straight away?
- It's better to introduce any new food gradually over several days, mixing it with their current food rather than swapping it all at once. A gradual change is easier on their stomach, especially for an older animal.
