Formula development reference
Use this senior-dog reference to prepare a product-specific development brief. Define the intended dog-size and activity scope, nutritional role, ingredient preferences and kibble requirements with the linked Senior Dog Product. Final ingredient inclusion, nutrient values, feeding information and label wording are confirmed for the selected market. This qualitative reference does not disclose a commercial recipe.
Use this direction to start a product brief. Ingredient choices, nutrient specifications and label claims require project review before a commercial formula is approved.

List the preferred declared sources, ingredient exclusions and any allowed alternatives. Review raw-material specifications, relevant supplier information and traceability needs together. A shorter ingredient list or a named source does not by itself establish performance or suitability for a diagnosed condition.
Discuss chicken, beef, lamb or fish flavour directions alongside the senior-dog kibble brief. Specify the intended dog-size scope and identify which size, shape and texture differences need comparison. Keep the declared ingredients and sample requirements tied to the same formulation version.
Explain how the proposed senior SKU differs from your existing adult product and which requirements are essential to the brand. Review the proposed pack statements with the actual formulation and available evidence. Agree which ingredient or process changes require notification, a revised sample or renewed approval before a repeat order.
Confirm the applicable nutrition basis for the intended daily-food role and destination market, together with the brand's senior-age positioning and feeding information. Do not assume that the senior name establishes a distinct universal nutrient profile or the same formula adjustment for every dog. Identify small, medium or large dog-size requirements separately. The proposed physical format, activity context and feeding information should be reviewed for that scope rather than assuming one specification fits every senior dog.
Identify the nutrient and finished-product indicators required for the selected product. Discuss protein, fat, fibre, ash, moisture and required microbiological items with their reporting basis and test-document needs. Connect the intended dog-size and activity scope to the product information being reviewed, without assigning unconfirmed energy or nutrient values.
Agree the physical sample criteria, any feeding-acceptance evaluation and the information needed to support the exact proposed statements. Keep informal observations separate from broader evidence claims. Review the final product, label, packaging and storage information together before approving the commercial specification; shelf-life support relates to the selected product-and-pack combination.
