Recently she started to loose her appetite to the point of losing weight. I brought her to my vet for a senior health profile exam and a dental check.. she passed with flying colors. The vet suggested at her age, give her anything she wants. I believe that good nutrition is key to a healthy aging dog. It took several tries to find something that she would actually eat with any enthusiasm. <br><br>Now she's on a diet of Purina One Senior mixed with wet food and either beef or chicken broth or leftover cooked vegetables or pasta. Then I warm it up. She now eats with the excitement of a much younger dog.<br><br>If you have a senior dog whose appetite is not what it used to be, what tricks do you use to improve its appetite?Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:38:37 GMTCairns_n_Jackshttp://board.dogchannel.com/Topic58248-52-1.aspx<SPAN id=_ctl1__ctl0_ctlTopic__ctl0_ctlPanelBar_ctlTopicsRepeater__ctl1_lblFullMessage>Hello DC Members!<br><br>September is Senior Care Health month and we thought that it would be appropriate to introduce a section on the DogChannel Forum dedicated to our senior dogs. We hope that you'll find this new section userful.<br><br>And please post some photos of your Seniordogs in this thread! I know how everyone loves showing off their dogs! Let's put our seniors in the spotlight!</SPAN>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:16:48 GMTFeathersNFuz
