Yorkie senior food

Question
I am now feeding my Yorkies Royal Canin for Yorkies.  Since one is 9 years old I
wonder what is a good Senior food for Yorkies.  Thanks in advance for advice.

Answer
Audrey,

Unfortunately I think this is a question for your vet.  The reason I say that is because it is not as simple as it sounds.  I don't believe that feeding dogs diet food, senior food, or any other specialty food is necessary.  I fed my dogs the same dog food all of their lives and they all lived long happy and healthy lives.  The only time I varied the feeding process was when I had a female who was with pups.  Then I would add chicken or beef to the diet to supplement their protein intake.

Most dog food is basically the same.  So what you feed them is really a matter of what you as an individual believe you should feed them.  Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but this is one of those circumstances where there is no right or wrong answer.
