Our in-depth look
Who it's for
Dogs aged seven and older, particularly smaller breeds that find small kibble easier to chew.
Who should skip it
Senior dogs with kidney, heart or other conditions may need a therapeutic diet — ask your vet. Chicken-sensitive dogs should choose another protein.
Tips
Older dogs often need fewer calories. Weigh your dog every month or two and adjust portions to keep them lean.
