Usually the senior diets are lower in calories so you can carry on feeding the same amount but if the dog is taking less exercise it won't get fat, and some of them do put in supplements for aging bones and joints. Beauty is only on it because I have to keep Fred on a low cal diet, and even the senior is too much for him with the amount of training (and therefore treats) I give him. If your dog is still up and about and getting lots of exercise and has no medical problems you can keep her on 'normal' food. They say prevention is better than cure so you could give her a separate supplement for joints etc if you want to. Beauty still has lots of energy and gets lots of exercise.
