When should a dog get 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.
What is the difference between senior dog food and regular?
On average, senior dog foods have less protein, less fats, and higher carbohydrates than adult and puppy diets. This may or may not be a good thing for your pet. Typically, higher carbohydrates and less fat isn't a good thing and may be an indication of a cheaper dog food that uses more fillers.
