As your dog ages, his eating habits and dietary needs will change. And in order to continue to support your furry friend, it is essential to make good food choices to ensure that he gets the best care even in his twilight years.
Some signs to watch out for to know that your dog is in his senior years are: changes in his personality or behavior, increased urination, decreased mobility or activity, reduced appetite, vision or hearing problems, etc.
Shifting to a low-calorie and high-fiber diet may be necessary. This is particularly beneficial to dogs that have decreased physical activity to prevent obesity.
As with diet for humans, any diet will only be good as long as it is coupled with changes in lifestyle or eating habits. Also, there is no one perfect diet for your senior dog. Senior dogs, just like any regular adult dogs have different needs. It is still best to consult your dog’s veterinarian Ruidoso, NM to be able to provide for your dog’s changing nutritional needs.
