Senior dog food - is it necessary?

[Rouleur]

I've often wondered about this, and now my Springer is around eight or so I'm wondering whether I should start him on Skinner's Light & Senior instead of their normal feed. It contains a few extra ingredients to help with joints etc so I guess I can't go wrong...

Thanks for the replies. I'll have a look at the Better By Nature food as a supplement as it looks to be good healthy stuff.

You could mix some senior food in with his normal food for a while and add glucosamine supplements etc.

I'm going to get some glucosamine at some point soon. Looking at an old thread on here earlier it looks as though supermarket brands are suitable in small doses.

I think I'll order some senior Skinners next time too.

Will do! What would we do without you
