As your large-breed dog enters their golden years, their needs change—but their love for you remains constant. Senior dogs face unique challenges, from joint pain to picky eating. The good news? The right diet can make a world of difference in helping them stay happy, healthy, and thriving. Let’s dive into five common issues senior dogs face and discover how Addiction Pet Foods can provide the solutions they need.
