Well, at 19 she can store her food wherever she wants!

I have a senior Shih Tzu. (about 14) I have found out over the past 8 months that her food requirements change frequently.I bought her Diamond Naturals Senior but she lost too much weight.Put her on canned food for a while.She was gobbling her food too fast so I put things in her food bowl to slow down her eating.

Had to stop that.Noticed recently she's too fat so now I'm mixing the senior food with reg. food. She does not have a lot of teeth so I soften it with water.
She has doggie dementia but over a month ago I started giving her COQ10 and I can see a major difference in her in all ways.

I am just working with the problems as they come. My cousin told me to add a small amt. of Organic Coconut Oil to her food. The doctor has prescribed it for my aunt and my cousin says it has helped her a lot with her dementia.

MY BFF breeds rough collies and from what she tells me I think it would abnormal for hers to not live to be about 14.She is very careful with the bloodlines she uses as bloat is in a lot of collie bloodlines. She has goats and I know she gives hers goat milk a lot of times. Another food she gives if she has a problem eater is rabbit. That's about all I can think of that I remember hearing her mention.
