My parent's dog Casey is almost 12 years old, I see him every few weeks and am able to notice in these intervals that he's lost a lot of muscle tone as he ages. He had HD surgery as a young adult, and still has bad hips. He also gets GlycoFlex III everyday.
He currently is fed Canidae. I stopped by our local "Natural Pet" store and got a few recommendations from the store owner.
She suggested either:
1) changing foods to Horizon Legacy

or
2) adding 1-2 tbsp of Wysong or Tiki Dog canned food to his dry food.

What are your thoughts on this? Is there something else you would recommend instead?
We don't want him to gain weight, he's at a healthy size despite hypothyroidism. However, we'd like him to maintain and keep muscle.
I'd like to discuss this with my parents over the holidays. Any suggestions that have worked for you would be great!!!
