There is no single birthday when a dog becomes “senior” — it depends mostly on size. Knowing the rough window helps you start paying attention at the right time, without either worrying too early or missing the slow changes.
The rough windows
As a general guide, many small and medium dogs are considered senior around age seven, while larger and giant breeds may reach that stage as early as five or six. Bigger bodies simply tend to age sooner.
Why the number is only a prompt
The age is a reminder to start noticing, not a diagnosis. What matters more than the birthday is the pattern of small changes — and, if anything looks sudden or painful, a veterinary check rather than a label.
A daily supplement is not a diagnosis. BounceBack is nutritional support for everyday routines — not a drug, and not a substitute for veterinary care. For an existing condition or ongoing medication, your veterinarian decides.
Adult and senior, together
BounceBack is made for adult and senior dogs — the whole span where a daily routine starts to make sense. It is a serving over food, weight-based, judged over time.
