What is the difference between senior dog food and regular dog food?

The difference between senior dog food and regular dog food is subtle but important. Senior dog food often has fewer calories than regular adult dog food to help her stay healthy when her metabolism slows. It also has the proper ratio of fat to protein to help her maintain her lean muscles. Plus, it often has more fiber than adult varieties. Depending on the type you choose, you'll also find additional nutrients to support your fur-iend.

When do you switch to senior dog food?

You should consider the switch to senior dog food if your older dog develops a dull coat, seems lethargic, has a thicker midsection or develops tummy problems. Nutritional needs also vary between breed size, current health and age. It's always best to ask your vet what's the right food for your old pal. Many senior dry dog foods are labeled for ages seven and older, well before you might think your fur-iend should make the switch!
