Frequently Asked Questions

🐾 About Our Treats

What ingredients are in Bowwow Pet Care treats?
Our treats are made with simple, wholesome ingredients crafted with senior dogs in mind. Each recipe is carefully formulated to be gentle on aging digestive systems — no artificial preservatives, no fillers, just real ingredients your pup will love. Full ingredient lists are listed on each product page.

Are your treats safe for senior dogs with health conditions?
Our treats are made with senior dogs in mind, but every dog is different. If your pup has a specific health condition, allergies, or is on medication, we always recommend checking with your veterinarian before introducing any new treat. When in doubt, ask your vet — they know your dog best.

Are your treats grain-free?
Please check the individual product page for each treat's full ingredient list and allergen information, as recipes vary. If you have a specific dietary concern, feel free to reach out to us at shop@bowwowpetcare.com and we'll help you find the right fit.

🐕 Senior Dog Wellness

What makes Bowwow Pet Care treats different for senior dogs?
Senior dogs have different nutritional needs than puppies or adult dogs — softer textures for aging teeth, gentler ingredients for sensitive stomachs, and recipes that support joint health and overall wellness. Everything we make is designed with the golden years in mind, because your old dog deserves the very best.

What age is considered a "senior" dog?
Generally, dogs are considered seniors around age 7, though this varies by breed and size. Larger breeds tend to age faster, while smaller breeds like dachshunds can stay spry well into their teens. If your pup is slowing down, greying around the muzzle, or just living their best couch life — they're probably ready for our treats. 🐾

Can puppies or adult dogs eat your treats?
Our treats are formulated with senior dogs in mind, but most healthy adult dogs can enjoy them too. We don't recommend them as a primary treat for puppies, whose nutritional needs are quite different. When in doubt, check with your vet!
