First of all i'd never feed a "senior" food.

I actually had better luck with King using Pro Plan than i did with Canidae. (The Canidae gave him bloody vomit and diarrhea.) (We mostly fed Wysong, but every now and then would throw in the Pro Plan for something different.) When we fed him the ProPlan we gave the Natural Turkey (Adult) version. (When we were going for lower sodium and put him on senior food he was always hungry, begging for more, and gained fatty weight. We put him back on regular and did just fine.)

I personally can stand by Royal Canin's cat food, but swear their dog food is horrible. (I was trying out garlic free foods in King's final days when he was misdiagnosed.)

Of course my recommendation in the end will always be Wysong. (I've only known the dogs with the MOST severe grain allergies to do bad on it. ...and i'm talking the dogs that had no other choice than to be fed raw.)

And i must reiterate, i personally really advise against using "senior" foods. They plain simply offer less nutrition.

Good luck with what ever you decide.

Or, do you have a kibble you like better? Thanks. Oh, Dasher is 9 1/2 now.
