I just started using Science Diet for my old Golden Ret and my older Jack Russel. My Yorkie is on the special prescription L/D diet because he has had liver shunts. I personally like the 7+ Senior that my other 2 dogs are on. I checked every label at Petsmart looking for a very low protein diet for my Golden Ret. She is 14 1/2 years old and very thin. If I feed her a food with more than 16% protein she has major problems holding her urine. She will be laying down and it just runs out of her. I have found that if I keep the protein down that she is much better. I mix the dry with the canned for her and she has alot more energy plus seems to be gaining a little weight, plus doesn't seem to have the bladder problem as much. It's the only food I found that doesn't have over 20% protein. Personally, I have had good luck with it.
