Don't make the same mistake we did. Before you feel bad, there's a happy ending.
Our Airedale-cross was 11 years old, but he was absolutely amazing. If I didn't know different, I'd say he was still 2 years old. So much energy, so much character, so much fun. Everyone thinks he's a puppy.
But a while back we noticed he was having a hard time pooping and was hardly eating. We were feeding him the same food that he had always liked. Otherwise, he seemed fine.
He was so youthful that it hadn't even occurred to me that even if he/we didn't know he was getting older, his innards did.
It turned out that, as young as he still acted, we had to change to Senior food. I realize this isn't exactly ground-breaking information. But maybe some of you have a dog that seems way less than his years and are making the same mistake.
What amazes me is that Doug, that's his name, knew that the food was causing his discomfort and wouldn't eat it. How could he possibly make that connection?
Dogs are amazing!
So turn your dog to senior food when the years say, not when he seems old.
