    • It actually looks pretty good to me - meat's the first ingredient and they've included organs. My vet believes seniors need a really good diet (not food for senior dogs) so their liver and kidneys don't have to work so hard, so I'd say its not too much protein for a senior. (My seniors eat Orijen!)The only thing you might want to add is glucosamine chondroitin with MSM to help your dog's joints.
