Thank you so much for the responses.
I don't believe we've ever had a Thyroid work up on him. At least if they did it, they never said. I will contact our vet and ask about that. Thank you!
He doesn't have cosequin but we do have him on apawthecary senior blend and he digests that okay - not sure what cosequin is - can that be given in addition to his apawthecary?
In regard to feeding, our dogs do not have a feeding time, and have always been on 'free feed'. The vet said it's perfectly fine, especially for small breeds, as long as they're not overindulging on it and are of a healthy weight. He eats throughout the day on a regular basis.
I don't really know what to do to feed him 'more' as he eats like a piggy as it is. My husband calls him his little oinky.
I also make pudding for him that is completely gross but I use it in place of canned food - he only gets that twice a week and it's a mixture of green beans, watermelon, yogurt and peanut butter. The vet approved all the ingredients. =/
To answer your question, Sprout just turned 13 years old in June.
