Description

When your dog reaches senior status, switching to "senior" food seems like the obvious choice. But is it really the best option? In this episode, veterinarian Leida Visee takes a closer look at what senior dog food actually is, why many formulas may not meet your dog’s true needs, and how outdated advice about protein could be doing more harm than good. You'll learn what matters when choosing food for your aging dog—and how to support their muscle mass, mobility, and overall vitality through nutrition.
