Is this food okay for senior dogs?

There are 8 different formulas that you can chose from. My 4 month old retriever is on the Ultra mix. Food is natural and grain free. I have been very pleased with this product and plan to continue using this brand for the lifespan of my dog. KP

I am not sure. I have used the other dog food they have and changed to this grain-free and have had no problems. Or rather mydogs have had no problems with the swithch. When our vet realized we fed our 2 dogs this dog food he said to keep it up. Our dogs are notfat and do not get sick!

Nope! The food itself doesn't smell great, (no dog food does) and it might smell a little fishy, but my dogs don't smell bad at all! Since we switched to this dog food their gas doesn't smell bad like it used to either.

From the Wellness website http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/product-details.aspx?pet=dog&pid;=53#feeding-guidelines(LBS) CUPS/DAY46-65 2 - 2 ½66-85 2 ½ - 3If I did the math right, a 30 lb (480 oz) bag of food with a daily serving of 2.5 cups (20 oz) would last approximately 24 servings. That would be about a months worth of food. They also have a senior formula that might be more appropriate for his age as well.

I don't see there being a problem with adding it to moist dog food. Our 13 yr old Rhodesian Ridgeback takes it without any hesitancy but if she did have problems taking it, I would do that or put it in peanut butter/cheese.

I have a 10 year old German shepherd & a 5 year old German shepherd both with allergies. Much improved with this food. Protein doesn't seem to be a problem at all for the older dog. Healthier diet has been incredible for them both.

I cannot find an expiration date, only a LOT #, which is D142413. I do not know what that means, guessing the 13 might be this year, but probably not safe to assume. The food always smells fresh and I usually go by the smell as I can easily detect being rancid or old that way. The pets LOvE this food! and I am glad to feed it because it is good for them.

It is a perfectly fine dry dog food but I ended up having to give up the 'grain free high protein' type food after 4 months due to issues with GAS in my 2 dogs. My vet recommended I change food and now a month afterwardsthe gas is almost gone. My vet informed me my choc lab and black lab mix needed a little less protein and some grain would not hurt them at all. I really liked the premium edge and felt it would help manage weight issues.I highly recommend this food to you.

HI! I have 3 greyhounds and this lasts quite a while. For my two seniors, I give 3/4 oz with the morning meal, and 1/2 oz with the evening meal. You can give it all at one time but I like to divide it up. For my younger hound, he just gets 1/2 oz per day. Hope this helps!

This is one of the best top tier foods you can feed your dog. My two 15yo labs have loved it. We moved them over to Wellness Senior now due to their age, but they did great on the Core.

I can honestly say, I'm not sure, but I have heard/read that "sometimes" high protein can be harder on older dogs especially if they are not very active. It might cause diarrhea/loose stools. Our blue healer dog will be 7 this year, not as active as she used to be. So far we haven't had any issues with the food and she loves it! I will continue to feed it until I see changes in her stools or other problems. Hope this helps.

I have honestly never tasted this food myself, however my dogs have been eating it for years and seem to like it fine. This IS great dog food though, and my dogs are incredibly healthy. If you want your dog to eat the food, I would "jazz it up" with some yogurt, coconut oil, or my pups personal favorite mushroom gravy.For the mushroom gravy, I mix MUSH (link below) with a little water and put it on their food; they go crazy for it.MUSH Medicinal Mushroom Blend 125 gram

I have been feeding this food to my two dogs for about a year. My Doberman and German Shepherd have had just as much if not more energy then when I was feeding them the much more expensive Acana food. We have tried many different dog food brands but Wellness is one of the very few that didn't give my dogs serious stomach problems. So I would highly recommend at least trying this dog food, but I hope you have some time on your hands to play with your dog, because they will have more energy!

This is a hard and crunchy dog food. You may want to look into something softer.

I would say yes if the dog will eat it that way. It's just ground up seaweed and only about a 1/8 t. Serving. If you can get the dog to swallow it that way go for it. I personally mix it in Organic Greek yogurt. The vet said the yogurt was really good for her too.

Wow, that is very odd. My dog is fine with this food, but is fussy from time to time so I switch it up with PRIMAL FORMULA brand, and also give the Stella's Surf and Turf and the chicken. Why not call the phone number on the package for more information from the company' maybe they could shed some light on it.

Yes, IMHO this food is the next best thing to a raw diet. My GSD is a working dog imported from Europe and he loves this food and he looks great with a shiny coat and lots of energy. I use the Amazon subscription and with my Prime membership I save over $10 per bag versus buying it locally, it's good stuff!
