Hi there!
Thank you so much for your kind words—I really appreciate you taking the time to read through my articles. It means a lot!
That’s great to hear you’re thinking ahead for your dog’s senior years. Moving to freeze-dried can be a really nice step, especially for digestion and overall energy.
About your question—yes, you’re right. While Instinct worked very well for my smaller dog, I found it wasn’t always the best fit for larger breeds in terms of calorie density and portion size.
For bigger dogs, I had a better experience with brands like Stella & Chewy’s and Primal Pet Foods. Both tend to offer higher-calorie formulas and chunkier pieces, which work better for large dogs who need more energy per meal. They also held up well digestion-wise, which was a big win.
That said, every dog is a bit different—especially at 10 years old—so I’d suggest trying a small bag first and seeing how she does. Watching her energy, stool, and appetite will tell you a lot pretty quickly.
Thanks again for your thoughtful comment, and give your pup a little extra scratch from me
That’s a really good point! It’s easy to just look at the bag price, but the feeding amount makes a big difference. Even if NutriSource seems pricier per bag, the actual cost per day can end up very similar to Purina Pro Plan once you factor in portion sizes. It’s always smart to compare cups per pound like you did.
