There are lots of quality dog foods out now. We feed our dogs a lot of meat. As they age, their kidney and liver function often declines. That means you should feed less protein.

My last Border Collie went backpacking with me at 16. The vet said she had bad liver function but gave no advice. I gave her the same supplements from a health food store that I would give to a human. Her diet was reduced to cottage cheese, canola oil, rice and few other things at the end, but she lived 2 years past what the vet gave her for life expectancy.
