Paw When to switch to Senior food...?

Hello Everyone,

We were just wondering at what age you all had changed your Newf from regular adult food to Senior adult food..?

Or at what age a Newf is considered a Senior..?

Our Baloo is going to be 7 in a couple of months and we are thinking of switching him to Senior food...

We look forward to your feedback.

Thanks,

I've heard that 7 is a good time to start feeding senior food. That said, Suki is 8.5 and she still eats the regular food. She doesn't really eat much and is fairly thin, so I didn't want to give her anything with less calories.

We never use senior food, they might get smaller portions, & more supplements as they get older, atry to keep them active!
