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 think for older dogs they don't need a pure protein diet. I think having some grain in their diet would better suit them as they are not as active as puppies/teenagers.

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.

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 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 my dogs 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 not fat and do not get sick!

These are treats, not a main meal. I feel that any age dog could have these. Blue Buffalo products are fabulous! Since I started using it a few years ago, my animals have been healthier than they ever have been, and I have several senior dogs and cats. The food is expensive, but you don't have to feed as much of it as other foods and I think I am saving on vet bills!

Probably not. My older dog sniffed it and backed away, but the puppy had to actually taste it before he would leave things alone.

I will keep my dog on this food from now on! She is doing so well on it. My dog is 10 years old and has got some spunk back!

Advanced adult has fewer calories per serving and more chicken and vegetables in it, plus nutrients for senior dog needs, i.e. for joint health and teeth health over age 10.

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!

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.

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.

Yes, but follow the feeding instructions with a very large grain of salt. Watch your dog's weight and adjust accordingly. It's high-protein, so a little goes a long way. A cup of this food is not the same as a cup of Eukanuba (to just pick one).

This is an herbal product. IMO, if the dog is benefited by normal usage, It should be OK.

I use it for my German Shepard. I put the amount the vet told me to on her food.

MCT is a miracle oil for older persons. To make this point, just as animal supplements for joint pain are now used by humans, MCT is now be used in dog food for senior pets. One of the best explanations of this is from Purina One for senior dogs. Here is the link https://www.purinaone.com/dogs/senior-dog-cognition . Online the loss of the brain's ability to metabolize glucose is being referred to as Type 3 Diabetes and is believed to be one of the primary causes of Alzheimer's. I take one tablespoon of MCT every 8 hours and have noted a marked increase in mental acuity.

I would say absolutely, esp older pets. It has helped my dogs immensely. Great product and I am a repeat customer.
