Senior cat food

SillyMangoX · 2015-12-15 19:32:28

Can't believe I'm talking about this already! In August, peach and cream will be hitting on 7, and that's usually around the recommended age to put them onto senior food. I know the lower fat/ phosphorous and higher fiber can be important but is it really necessary from 7? Or is it necessary at all, and just supplement…

The main thing that's bothering me is all three cats are fed the same food now, if I was to move them onto senior food id have to be buying separate for Dude and don't have the storage space - could I put him on it too? I'm already looking at maybe adding some sort of supplement to his diet for extra glucosamine/ chondritin as I've a feeling his hips are going to stiffen as he gets older from his accident! They're being fed applaws dry and cosma wet at the moment.. Would they need a senior wet food too? Agh I don't want to think about my babies getting old!!
