I always thought it odd that, barring a medical need (kidney problems for instance) an older dog automatically needed a different food. After all, we don’t suddenly feed Grandma something different because she hit a certain age. It’s mostly marketing. The more different foods a manufacturer can have in a store the more shelf space they take and the more chances a consumer will choose one of them. Not that I think all dog foods are alike, I don’t.

“we don’t suddenly feed Grandma something different because she hit a certain age.”

And here, all along, I’ve been feeding Granny “senior dog food.” Isn’t that what all conservatives want them to eat???? Huh?

I’m not that big of a fan of prepackaged dry food. I might just be an isolated case but in the year before my lab passed away we switched her to trader joes wet food and alot of her allergies cleared up.
