Purina
Pro Plan Bright Mind 7+
A senior formula built around ingredients studied for alertness and mental sharpness in older dogs. Worth asking a vet about if a senior dog has started staring blankly or seeming confused, alongside a proper check, not instead of one.

Our take
Bright Mind is Purina's senior line built around a specific blend, including MCT oil, that the brand has studied for supporting alertness and mental sharpness in older dogs, alongside the probiotics and joint-friendly nutrients you would expect in any decent senior formula. It will not reverse genuine cognitive decline and it is not a substitute for a vet visit if a senior dog has started staring blankly, pacing, or seeming lost in a familiar room, those are symptoms to get checked, not fed around. As an everyday senior food for a dog whose owner wants to support their mind as well as their joints, it is a sensible, widely available choice.
