Dog Food - Senior Dog Food

As your dog ages, health issues may arise including deterioration of skin and coat, loss of muscle mass, more frequent intestinal problems, arthritis, obesity, dental problems and decreased ability to fight off infection. Since smaller dogs live longer and don't experience these age-related changes as early as bigger dogs, size is used to determine when it’s time to feed your canine a senior diet.

 A good guideline to follow is:

• Small breeds and dogs weighing less than 9Kg —7 years of age
• Medium breeds and dogs weighing 9Kg to 22Kg —7 years of age
• Large breeds and dogs weighing 22Kg to 40Kg —6 years of age
• Giant breeds and dogs weighing 40Kg or more—5 years of age
