Senior Dog Tales – Episode 4: Should your Senior Dog be eating ‘Senior’ food?

Should your Senior Dog be eating ‘Senior’ food?

When our dogs reach “senior” status, we’re often advised to switch to special senior dog food. At first glance, this seems perfectly logical: older dog, senior food. But is this actually the best advice for every older dog?

In this blog, I want to challenge this widely accepted idea and explain why senior dog food isn’t necessarily the right choice for every aging four-legged friend. In fact, for many older dogs, standard “senior formula” food may contribute to a problem that many of our gray companions face: loss of muscle mass.
