When should I switch my dog to the senior recipe?Updated 11 hours ago

Dogs age at different rates depending on their size. The largest breeds reach their senior years at around 5, while small dogs may not until 10 or later. The chart on our senior recipe page shows the range for your dog's size.

If your dog is slowing down, gaining weight easily or getting stiff after walks, it may be a good time to switch. Your vet can help you decide.

The senior recipe meets AAFCO standards for adult dogs, so it's safe for a younger adult dog too. That makes it an easy choice for homes with dogs of different ages.
