Senior dogs often need targeted nutritional support that goes beyond what a standard adult diet provides. Ceva Geri-Active is a veterinary-formulated supplement designed specifically for these changing needs, offering a comprehensive blend of ingredients that support healthy ageing from the inside out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCeva Geri-Active Chicken Chews are a palatable, easy-to-give supplement for senior dogs developed by Ceva Animal Health, a global leader in veterinary medicine. The chicken-flavoured chews are designed to be given as a treat, making supplementation stress-free even for picky eaters. Two sizes are available — 60 chews for small dogs or as a trial size, and 120 chews for ongoing support in medium to large dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Ingredients \u0026amp; How They Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOmega-3 fatty acids (EPA \u0026amp; DHA)\u003c\/strong\u003e from fish oil are central to the Geri-Active formula. These essential fatty acids are well-documented in the veterinary literature for their anti-inflammatory properties, supporting joint comfort, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function in ageing dogs. DHA in particular plays a critical role in maintaining neurological integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin E and Vitamin C\u003c\/strong\u003e act as antioxidants, neutralizing free radicals that accumulate at an accelerated rate in senior animals.

Geri-Active stands out by targeting multiple ageing pathways simultaneously: inflammation (omega-3s), oxidative damage (vitamins E and C), immune decline (zinc, selenium), and muscle wasting (L-carnitine). For dogs over 7 years old showing early signs of slowing down — less enthusiasm on walks, increased stiffness, or weight changes — starting Geri-Active before symptoms become pronounced tends to yield the best outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAt what age should I start my dog on Geri-Active?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eCeva Geri-Active is recommended for dogs 7 years and older. For large and giant breeds, which age faster, consider starting at 5–6 years. Beginning supplementation before significant decline sets in typically produces better long-term outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan Geri-Active be given alongside other medications?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn general, yes. The ingredients in Geri-Active are nutrients rather than drugs, with a low risk of interactions. However, high-dose omega-3s can have mild blood-thinning effects, so if your dog is on anticoagulant medication, consult your veterinarian before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the 60-chew and 120-chew sizes?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formulation is identical. The 60-chew size is suitable for small dogs (1 chew\/day) or as an introductory size. The 120-chew size offers better value for medium and large dogs who require 2–3 chews daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat about Geri-Active Mini — is it different?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeri-Active Mini chews are smaller in size, making them easier to administer to small and toy breeds. The active ingredient profile is the same; the mini format simply improves palatability and dosing precision for dogs under 10 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Ceva Animal Health","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46656574292153,"sku":"123224","price":80.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/2592\/7609\/files\/123224_0-XL_4637993b-4a36-4492-9056-ce1418dec908.jpg?v=1773951507","url":"https:\/\/vivopet.ca\/products\/ceva-geri-active-senior-chews-dogs","provider":"VivoPet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
