8 Vet-Recommended Dog Foods for Seniors in 2025

7.Our Vet's Pick: Best for Dental Support

Eukanuba Senior Lamb First Ingredient Dry Dog Food
Helps reduce tartar buildup while providing complete senior nutrition

Eukanuba's senior formula stood out to our veterinary panel for its emphasis on dental health---an essential factor for aging dogs. The kibble is specifically designed to help reduce tartar accumulation, promoting healthier teeth and gums over time.

Beyond oral care, this formula includes DHA (a type of omega-3 fatty acid) and glucosamine to help maintain brain function, joint flexibility, and a robust immune system.

Another standout feature is its use of lamb as the main protein source, offering variety for dogs who prefer or need an alternative to common proteins. However, because it also contains chicken, it may not be suitable for pets with chicken sensitivities or allergies.
