SENIOR
Lamb Meal & Rice Dog Food

As your dog ages, his nutritional needs will change. And did you know that different sized dogs age at different rates? We recommend you begin feeding Sensible Choice Lamb Meal & Rice Formula Senior Dog Food to your small breed (less than 20 lbs.) at 8 years of age; medium breed (20 - 55 lbs.) at 7 years of age; and large breed (over 55 lbs.) at 6 years of age.

Complete and balanced nutrition for your dog's health and wellness.
High protein (23%) provides extra energy and maintains muscle mass without contributing to excess weight gain.

Recommended Feeding Guide

When changing your pet's diet, gradually mix food over a 5-7 day period, increasing daily the amount of new food added so that 100% of the new food will be provided to the pet by day seven.

For adult dogs, serve right from the bag or moisten with warm water, if desired. For puppies and nursing females, we recommend Sensible Choice Puppy Formula. Remember to always provide plenty of clean, fresh water. It is important to monitor your dog's weight and to visit your veterinarian regularly.

This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, temperament, activity level and environment.

Compare For Yourself

Does your dog have sensitive skin? Even if he doesn't, shouldn't his food be just as gentle. Sensible Choice Lamb Meal & Rice contains only one meat source - LAMB, and one grain source - RICE to limit your dog's exposure to possible allergens. This combination of pure lamb and rice provides one of the most digestible diets available for your sensitive dog. Be aware of products that contain other carbohydrate sources and meat by-products which are less expensive.
