Featuring the Advanced Canine Lipid System™
Exceptional nutrition for lifelong vitality.
A 40% protein, proven nutritional foundation combined with an advanced matrix of specialized fats, phospholipids, and lipid-associated nutrients—carefully blended and applied through a deliberate small-batch process.
Healthy Aging™ is a process, not a life stage.
Why Healthy Aging™?
Extraordinary nutrition shouldn’t begin when a dog becomes old.
Healthy Aging™ was designed to provide exceptional nutritional support throughout life, with particular attention to cognitive vitality, cellular energy metabolism, lean body condition, antioxidant nutrition, digestive function, and healthy skin and coat.
The foundation is a nutrient-dense, 40% protein, proven nutritional foundation designed to support lean tissue, physical vitality, and the nutritional demands of dogs throughout life.
But what makes Healthy Aging™ truly different is what happens next.
Wysong overlays this high-protein foundation with the Advanced Canine Lipid System™—a carefully constructed matrix of specialized fats, phospholipids, and lipid-associated nutrients.
Not simply added. Formulated, blended, applied, and protected with purpose.
The Advanced Canine Lipid System™
Five components. Complementary functions. One integrated nutritional system.
Fats do much more than supply calories.
Lipids participate in cellular structure, energy metabolism, nervous-system function, skin and coat health, and numerous other biological processes.
Healthy Aging™ brings together five carefully selected components to create a broader approach to lipid nutrition.
C8/C10 Medium Chain Triglycerides
Specialized medium-chain fats selected as a readily metabolized energy source and to complement nutritional support for cognitive and metabolic vitality.
DHA-Rich Algal Oil
A concentrated algae-derived source of DHA, an important long-chain omega-3 fatty acid associated with normal brain, nervous-system, and visual function.
Non-GMO Sunflower Lecithin
A natural source of phospholipids—important structural components of cell membranes—which complement the overall lipid system.
Coenzyme Q10
A lipid-associated nutrient involved in normal mitochondrial energy metabolism and cellular function.
Natural Astaxanthin
A naturally occurring carotenoid derived from Haematococcus pluvialis algae, providing antioxidant activity with an affinity for lipid-rich biological environments.
Not one fashionable ingredient. An integrated nutritional system.
Each component serves a distinct purpose. Together, they form the Advanced Canine Lipid System™.
Purposeful Nutrition
An ingredient name on a label tells only part of the story.
Specialty nutrients have become increasingly common in premium foods. But the presence of an ingredient says little about how much is used, how it is combined with other nutrients, how it is applied, or how it is protected.
Healthy Aging™ was developed around those questions.
The components of the Advanced Canine Lipid System are incorporated at nutritionally meaningful levels -- not token quantities included merely for label appeal. For example, CoQ10 and natural astaxanthin are included at significant levels comparable to amounts used in canine supplements rather than for label 'window dressing' purposes
They are deliberately combined to provide complementary nutritional functions and then incorporated through a specialized small-batch process.
Purposeful ingredients. Meaningful inclusion. Deliberate application. Careful protection.
Small-Batch Nutritional Application
The process is part of the formula.
Typical commercial kibble coating is designed around efficient production flow: fats, oils, and palatants are metered onto kibble as it moves through a coating system.
Healthy Aging™ takes a deliberately different approach.
The specialized lipid system is prepared and applied in controlled small batches.
Rather than emphasizing production speed, our process emphasizes careful blending, gradual application, thorough distribution, and time for the specialized lipid matrix to integrate with the kibble.
Selection. Application. Preservation.
Exceptional ingredients deserve exceptional handling.
Selection
C8/C10 MCTs, DHA-rich algal oil, sunflower phospholipids, CoQ10, and natural astaxanthin are selected because each contributes a distinct and complementary nutritional function.
Application
The Advanced Canine Lipid System™ is separately blended and incorporated through our controlled small-batch process, emphasizing gradual application and thorough distribution rather than high-speed throughput.
Preservation
Our concern for these specialized lipids doesn’t end when blending stops.
Lipids can be particularly susceptible to oxidation and environmental exposure. Healthy Aging™ therefore combines antioxidant protection, including mixed tocopherols, with oxygen-management measures and high-barrier packaging designed to help protect the finished food throughout storage.
Selection. Application. Preservation.
Every step is part of the nutritional design.
Four Dimensions of Healthy Aging™
Nutrition for lifelong vitality.
Brain & Cognitive Vitality
DHA-rich algal oil and C8/C10 MCTs provide complementary forms of lipid nutrition supporting normal brain and cognitive function.
Cellular & Metabolic Vitality
CoQ10 participates in normal mitochondrial energy metabolism, while phospholipids and other components of the lipid system provide complementary nutritional support for cellular structure and function.
Lean Body & Physical Vitality
A 40% protein, proven nutritional foundation provides concentrated nutrition supporting lean body condition, tissue maintenance, and physical vitality.
Digestive, Skin & Coat Vitality
Thoughtfully selected nutritional components support digestive function, while the formula’s sophisticated lipid nutrition supports healthy skin and a vibrant coat.
A Wysong Perspective on Lipid Nutrition
We were thinking about lipid nutrition long before it became fashionable.
Wysong’s interest in the nutritional significance of fats and oils spans decades.
In 1990, Dr. Randy L. Wysong published Lipid Nutrition: Understanding Fats and Oils in Health and Disease, examining the often-underappreciated roles of fats and oils in human and animal nutrition.
Healthy Aging™ continues that longstanding Wysong perspective using contemporary nutritional ingredients and an unusually deliberate manufacturing approach.
