Try 360 dog food. All freeze-dried. We thought our schnauzer was acgonner. Started this, and he is a new dog. Just Google. Amazon carries it.

I have a 16 year old who at one point could hardly walk and had health issues that were-well frightening. I still feed him plain chicken cut small twice a day but his dry food is Authority -below. Only give his freeze dried chicken small pieces for treats. He loves all-what a change in him!!

FlexPet is a supplement, not a food, but it has done wonders for my 7 y.o. Yorkie’s hip dysplasia. Your vet could recommend which Hill’s Science Diet mixture food would be best.
