Lydia turned 12 in October, and of course I can't leave well enough alone and want to be sure I'm doing the best by her.
Currently she's eating a mix of wet foods: Primarily Tiny Tiger, Fancy Feast, American Journey, WholeHearted, Sheba... Occasionally other stuff as I find it on sale. She does get a bit of dry, about 1 Tbsp a day of Purina Pro Plan.
She is SUPER picky. She will not eat a lot of foods, both wet and dry. No Dr. Elsey's, Friskies, Whole Earth, Merrick, Tiki Cat (except mousse), Canidae, Weruva, BFF, Wellness, KOHA, I and luv and U.
I do give her glucosamine every day as she does have some arthritis and I've definitely noticed a positive change since starting it a couple months ago. She is otherwise healthy, confirmed with bloodwork and urine analysis a couple weeks ago.
Basically all this boils down to: should I be be feeding senior wet food specifically? Or is there anything in particular I should be looking out for in her food?
I know when Jasmine got to about 15 she started losing muscle mass and the vet suggested kitten foods because of the extra protein. It definitely seemed to help but I just want to start making changes now for Lydia if I should be.
