What kind of food is best to give a senior dog? - Rondout Valley Veterinary Associates
Senior dogs should transition to a food specifically designed for seniors. This usually contains higher levels of joint support and brain health supplements. The age at which a dog is considered a senior also varies by breed - large breeds may reach this stage as early as five to six years, regular dogs between eight to ten years, and small breeds not until they are ten to twelve years old.
