Diet for older dogs
Time will eventually take its toll on your beloved dog - as it does on us all. Somewhere between the ages of 7 and 12 years, your dog's body will undergo metabolic, immunologic, and compositional changes. She will begin to show signs of aging. Much like humans, an aging dog may experience digestive problems, loss of muscle mass, arthritis, obesity, dental problems, deterioration of skin and coat, and weakened immune response. Some of these changes are inevitable, but some can be slowed and managed through a diet tailored for senior dogs.
