Is this good for older dogs? Choosing between this or the Reduced Fat formula for my 3 not-so-active dogs (turning 11 yrs old).

I have 2 Papillons ages 8 and 13 years. Have fed Wellness Core for the last six years. Feeding according recommended amounts daily with veryfew snacks except fresh veggies and occasional dog treat they have maintained excellent health and have no weight issues. Both are sharp and excepting the other issues of aging they have no vision problems or digestive problems. They get free time out doors daily with observation and are very friendly with other dogs and neighbors. Hope this helps. Welllness Core has been their only food. I live in Upper Midwest where it gets very cold and they do not ever have a problem with that nor do they house soil. I have 2 Papillons ages 8 and 13 years.

Currently feeding a 5 yr. old terrier mix and a 9 yr old Chihuahua. They both have sensitive tummys and this seems to be okay for both of them. I do limit the amount they eat mainly because the terrier mix would eat until she exploded. Hope this helps.

I feed this to my 9 year old dog and she does great. I changed to this food because I heard taking the grain out of her food would help with arthritis and she hasn't had an episode since. It's been almost 1-1/2 years.

I have been taking this once a day for almost 2 years - the fat is gone from everywhere! Also noticed a significant increase in stamina. Yes - this takes TIME to work, it is not magic. I buy 3 - 6 boxes at a time to save money and can only afford one gel a day not the two gels as recommended. It may be cheaper on their website or special offers from manufacturer.

My dog was three years old when I found them, He is a large dog, so he can get the maximum treats and he has never had any side effects from them. However, a puppies digestive system my be different. I only buy the Yummie Chummies Gold which is 95 % salmon. The directions on the package do not say anything related to age. But maybe you could try giving him just one a day, and work your way up, and if he still has the same reaction it may be allergy related and I would then discontinue.

We have used it for our 6 year old lab since a puppy. We were recommended it by the breeder. She has maintained a healthy adult weight, with energy to be active and has a shiny healthy coat. I think it is high quality.

Hello , this did not work for my two older dogs . Ingredient list :http://www.nexstepbiosciences.com/suofin.html > go to this website and find the ingredients they reveal ..However it is really important to have an exam/xrays at your vet and then ask for them to help you treat it aggressively , I use BUFFERIN for my large ,older dog , wrapped in a peanut butter sandwish or cheese.. but it's a very temporary help and "chews" are about worthless .

I honestly don't know how to find an expiration date. I have given Pet-Tabs for years, with several dogs, and I have always felt comfortable with them. My (rescue) dogs are healthy, or if not we know their exact medical problems and medicate for those, but as far as a vitamin I am very happy with Pet Tabs. I have a Yellow Lab (rescue) now who won't take them by hand as every other dog has done, but she will eat them in her food dish with her meal, so who cares? Andrea SpinkSunnyvale, CA

I would say this is not a bad idea at all. If it were me however I would not mix it. But give either or , maybe every other day or so. This way you can keep up with the right amount of food to prevent over feeding and getting over weight.With the less expensive brand try to buy one that is grain free. Nutro is a good one, but look around. I disagree that giving both is a bad idea. I think it is a good one if it is all you can do. Also can you by brewers yeast? If you can add this once a week to the food, talk to you vet he can give you advice too on this supplement. What breed are you dogs?

I live in the desert S.W. and I have FortiFlora shipped priority overnight. In the summer it is worth it.I track so I can contact the shipper as to when he will be by my house the next day. I buy enough boxes to last 6 to 8 weeks at a time. It is more cost effective shipping durning the hot months. I hope this helps you. Also, it does not hurt to see if the vender will give you a break on shipping. Living in hot areas does have it drawbacks for products like this. So, yes, as far as I know it will kill the culture if left outside for very long. But I will say this, it has been great for my two old lady dogs with sensitive stomachs. It works well with their special diets. LCR

HI! I picked cookies that were 4% or lower in fat for my little dog but he would not touch them, so I gave them to a friend for their dogs. They ate them like they were starved. I believe if you will research online whatever you are thinking of feeding your little dog, you will find they list percentages of protein, fat, etc. That's the best I can suggest, other than calling the company by phone. Good luck! It's really difficult to find low-fat foods and especially cookies for dogs who need a low-fat diet.

most dog foods have a list of recommended servings for the age/size of your dog. If your dog needs a diet, I'd assume you just serve a little less...or there are plenty of diet dog foods too

I ordered the Pet Tabs with calcium by mistake once. We usually use the AF formula. It probably does work and I'm sure it had calcium in it because they were much harder to break in half for out 15 LB doxies. (They get 1/2 a tab with each meal -2 times a day). The one question to ask maybe would be: ..What type of calcium is it? My Dr has told "me" to get calcium "citrate" as it is easier to absorb. Ask your Vet and check the ingredients. I will say we LIKE Pet Tabs and the were originally recommended by our Vet. Buying them on Amazon is a cost effective way to get them. Especially true if you are a Prime member!

I have been using this product for two years and I have not had any problems with it. My dogs (2 large dogs) love them and is their favorite. I am assuming the person(s) that are complaining are those with small dogs, I can see that small dogs could have issues with this product. I am very careful with everything I feed my dogs (my kids), I hope the person will rethink their issues and allow those of us that are able to use these treats to do so. We should check all treats for issues and this is one brand from China that I do NOT have any issues with.

I undestand that this food can be given to all ages of dogs. I asked my vet about it and was told it is a good choice, and the staff in the pet-food store also recommended it over many other brands. I feed my Rotweiller and my small beagle mixed breed this food and both of them thrive on it. Here is the link if you wish to research more.http://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/

The product label says it is developed for 12 month old dogs or older.So I guess you must wait a bit more. But I tell you - that supplement is great!I send your puppy a kiss as I do love all the dogs in the world !

Yes this product works good for older dogs, I have a older dog she's more than 10 years and she use all the time The only bad thing is that when is already dirty you have to make sure you rinse it and wash it real good with carpet cleaner if it is necessary .clean it if you don't clean it is going to smell .
