Your dog may not look or act like what you think of as a “senior” dog. But starting around age 7, and earlier if they're a large breed dog, your dog's dietary needs will start to change. This is a good time to start thinking about switching to a senior dog diet.
When should my dog go on senior food?
That's around the time that your dog's activity level may begin to slow down, and his metabolism may begin to decrease. His brain may also become less efficient at metabolizing glucose, which can lead to memory problems. Around age seven, you may want to think about switching him to a dog food for older dogs.
Is senior dog food OK for younger dogs?
