PALMYRA, Wis., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Standard Process®, a frontrunner in whole food-based nutritional supplements, revealed today that Healthy Mind from Spirited Paw®, its direct-to-consumer pet wellness line, has been selected as the 2026 Senior Dog Nutrition Product of the Year by the Pet Innovation Awards.
Healthy Mind is a powdered supplement engineered specifically to aid cognitive health and mental sharpness in older dogs. It is free from artificial flavors and colors and includes four whole food ingredients cultivated on Standard Process’ certified organic farm: beets, buckwheat, Brussels sprouts, and Swiss chard. Its powder format also offers pet owners a convenient method for incorporating cognitive support into their senior dog’s daily regimen.
The honor was presented as part of the eighth annual Pet Innovation Awards, which draws thousands of nominations across various pet product categories. This award distinguishes Healthy Mind as an innovative wellness choice for pet parents whose dogs’ requirements change with advancing age.
“Every pet parent wants to help their dog remain engaged and connected as they grow older, but it can be difficult to know what to choose,” said Katrina Verdeur, M.S., Standard Process Product Development Manager, Pet. “We developed Spirited Paw® Healthy Mind to make that decision easier by combining research-backed ingredients at meaningful levels with whole food antioxidants, healthy fats, and meat ingredients dogs enjoy. This recognition reinforces our commitment to helping pets—and the people who love them—thrive through every stage of life.”
The award underscores Standard Process’ dedication to assisting pet owners in caring for their animals with reliable, thoughtfully designed supplements. Through Spirited Paw®, Standard Process extends its expertise in whole food nutrition and premium ingredients directly to pet parents, enabling them to support their pets’ health and wellness.
