Is this food still right for your older dog?
As dogs age, their needs change and health issues appear. Add your dog's age, weight and conditions, then photograph any label to see whether the food still fits, and bring better questions to your vet.

Senior Vitality Formula
Rocky · 11-year-old Beagle · overweight, arthritis
66
GRADE D
- Calorie-dense for an overweight dog. Extra weight puts more strain on Rocky's joints.
- “Senior” is in the name, but no nutrient standard defines senior food.
- Includes fish oil and glucosamine.
- Ask your vet about a lower-calorie option and a target weight for Rocky.
Why senior food is confusing
“Senior” on the bag doesn't mean much
There's no official nutrient standard for senior dogs, so two foods labelled “senior” can be very different, especially in calories.
“Senior”
AAFCO has no senior life stage. Senior foods meet the same adult standard as any other adult food.
Calories
Diets marketed for senior dogs vary widely in calorie content, which matters for less active dogs.
Extra weight
Every extra pound puts more strain on ageing joints, so a food's calories matter as much as its ingredients.
Health conditions
Kidney, heart or weight issues can change what your dog needs. That's a conversation for your vet, and a report helps you prepare.
