The Science of Longevity:
Why Wild Life Works for Your Senior Pet
The challenge of caring for an aging pet is knowing what truly helps. Most supplements are filled with powders your pet can’t fully digest. As the creator of Wild Life Pet Treats and grower of its mushroom ingredients, I knew we needed a better way. I used an intensive, multi-step extraction process to ensure every single 1-gram cube delivers concentrated, bioavailable nutrients directly to your pet's system.
In April, 2025, I sent the cubes to an ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Laboratory to prove exactly what makes this the ultimate longevity tool for your pet.
This is The Plan to help your older companion move better, think clearer, and thrive longer.
1. The Mobility Engine: Omega Fatty Acids
THE PROBLEM:
Senior joints dry out and inflammation slows them down.
THE SOLUTION:
We utilize a whole-fish decoction combined with ultrasonic seaweed extraction. This results in massive levels of healthy fats that lubricate stiff joints and fuel the brain.
- Omega 3 Fatty Acids (161 mg/g): The critical anti-inflammatory fat that supports joint mobility
- Omega 6 Fatty Acids (104 mg/g): Essential for maintaining a resilient skin barrier and glossy coat in older pets
- Omega 9 Fatty Acids (28.2 mg/g): Supports metabolic health and energy production
THE TAKEAWAY:
This isn't just flavor. It is a concentrated dose of joint-lubricating power.
2. The Immune Shield: Activated Mushrooms
THE PROBLEM:
Raw mushroom powder is largely indigestible for dogs, meaning they poop out the benefits.
THE SOLUTION:
I grow these mushrooms myself (Turkey Tail, Reishi, Lion's Mane, Shiitake). We use a hot-water extraction to remove the fibrous chitin, isolating the Beta-Glucans—the active compound that modulates the immune system.
- Beta-Glucan Content (1.45% - 1.67%): This confirms our extraction method successfully unlocked the immune-supporting compounds found deep within the fungal cell walls
THE TAKEAWAY:
A verified immune modulator to help your senior pet's system stay resilient against stress and illness.
3. The Digestive Regulator: Functional Fiber
THE PROBLEM:
As pets age, their digestion slows down. Senior dogs often struggle with regularity and gland issues, while older cats are prone to hairballs and constipation.
THE SOLUTION:
Unlike standard treats that are mostly empty starch, our complex is packed with functional fiber from Seaweed and Chia Seeds. This fiber absorbs water to aid digestion without adding unhealthy fillers.
- Crude Fiber (18.21%): A significantly higher fiber content than standard treats.
- The Senior Benefit: This high fiber count helps regulate bowel movements, supports natural anal gland expression (a common issue for older dogs), and helps older, less active pets feel "full" and satisfied, aiding in healthy weight management.
THE TAKEAWAY:
A happier gut means a more comfortable, regular pet.
4. The Recovery Block: Protein & Nutrient Density
THE PROBLEM:
Senior dogs lose muscle mass (Sarcopenia) and often have lower appetites.
THE SOLUTION:
We don't bake our treats, which destroys nutrients. We freeze-dry them. This removes the water but keeps the "food" alive, resulting in a nutrient-dense cube that is highly digestible for sensitive stomachs.
- Crude Protein (21.9%): High-quality, bioavailable animal protein to support muscle retention
- Healthy Fats (33.86%): A dense energy source to combat frailty and fatigue
- Low Moisture (3.15%): You aren't paying for water. You are paying for concentrated nutrition
THE TAKEAWAY:
A single gram of preventative care that tastes like a reward.
