As your dog ages and becomes slower, you may begin to worry about their weight, as their eating habits and nutritional needs change. It is therefore necessary to reach for a different food than before.
The moment to change the food will largely depend on the dog’s breed and health. Smaller breeds mature faster and age more slowly once they reach maturity. Smaller dogs, such as poodles, terriers, or chihuahuas, are considered seniors only when they reach the age of 10-12 years, while for larger breeds, the term is used in relation to 5-6-year-old dogs.
Features of Good Dog Food
The older the dog, the more it will need good, properly balanced nutrition that has fewer calories but still contains the appropriate amount of protein and fat and is higher in fiber. Diets specially formulated for older dogs have fewer calories and help create a feeling of fullness.
Food for Adult Dogs
If your furry friend has not had health problems, is not overweight, and remains active after a few years, you can still give them adult dog food, that is, what you have been using until now. If you notice changes, it will be necessary to choose the right food. However, the selection is so wide that you may feel confused. In such situations, the best course of action is to consult a specialist, that is, a veterinarian.
