We've been changing our poor Payton's food quite a bit but it's always been from one good one to one better one. We basically now use Orijen for seniors. (She's 8 and starting to show some grey in the muzzle as you'll see below :)
Basically we add some things that we have found to help her with aging gracefully and she's still full of plenty of pep and energy. The vet last month said she had the look of a 4 year old and had it not been for her muzzle he would have believe that. I think that's a good sign she's in good shape - or maybe his eyes are going.
Anyways, what we've been doing is adding the pulp from our juicer for fresh vegetables, an occasional raw egg and some flax oil for her joints and coat. She also enjoys sardines and some kefir for intestinal health. (We find it tones down the amount and stench of her farts) - yes Bullmastiff farts will clear the room!
What we have done is freeze solo servings and give them to her as treats and she absolutely loves them. We actually have trained her to 'sing' for them. She basically howls at us until we give it to her which is cute. We also find this amusing because she never made a sound before we taught her to bark and 'sing'... From what I understand bullies are traditionally not barkers..
If you have any suggestions on how you've kept your dog young and or just want to say hello please do in the comments!
Thanks
