Does older dog care include a different diet?
The short answer is yes. Older dogs should have less total protein but a higher quality protein. Dogs of different ages do require different diets. That’s why there’s so many different types of commercial dog foods available. The companies are trying to capitalize on the different needs at all ages. Younger dogs need a high concentration of protein, middle aged dogs do great on the protein that exists in average good quality dog food, and older dogs need lower amounts of higher quality protein.
