I like what this article mentions about special dietary needs for older dogs. I didn’t realize that they could require different types of food, and different amounts. I’ll have to keep this in mind while my dog is getting older.
You have some great tips here about taking care of our senior pets! Nutrition is so important. The smaller size kibble helps very much with my two bichons!

Good article! I think that is a good idea of trying to keep food and water in one area. I think if you can’t do that, then maybe have food and water for upstairs as well as downstairs. I completely agree to try and get those extra snuggles as they get older.

Hi Laura,
It’s great to come across an article talking about the importance of nutrition for our senior canine friends.
Dogs are so great at being optimistic that we often don’t realize that as they get older they need different support from their food. The reduced fat and antioxidants are great additions to any food for our senior companions.
