Hey sweet people,
Can anyone recommend good food for senior dogs? My dog is almost 12 years old and he really needs to loose weight :) Thank you!

Hi C - I order from tiendanimal.com, delivery usually 5 days and I pick up at SEUR in Eivissa. My preferred is TASTE OF THE WILD - grain free and GMO free. Different flavours from wild salmon to game. Usually with cooked plucked chicken/chicken stock and carrots. Other days they get only raw food - bought from Svenja here in Ibiza with cooked vegetables or rice (raw food must not be mixed with dry food as different digestion rates. It's either or). I believe as clean possible food is the way. ..that said, my Boxer will go and sneak eat the others' if she can 😋.

My black lab mix is 6 and has a tendency to run a bit heavy as labs do. He does amazingly well on tienda animales own brand criadores lamb and rice formula. I had a difficult time finding the right food for him as his digestive system couldn't handle the richness of foods like Orijen, they gave him soft stools and gas. The other thing that works well for weight loss is to mix green beans at a ratio of 1 part green beans to 2 parts biscuits, most dogs really enjoy the beans an they get good protein from the but less calories as less biscuits.
