My 3 boys have all been declared 'seniors' by the vet. They are 12,11 and 10 approx. We currently feed them wet and dry food . The vet wants us to feed them Hills Vet Essentials Mature Adult dry food. As this is only available from vets I am a bit sceptical and would like to investigate alternative food. I'm not unwilling to buy special food for them but I'd rather have more choice. - our vet already does very nicely from us thanks very much!
Does anyone have advice for a decent brand for seniors. We are in France but we can probably find things online. Thanks very much.

Don't forget that you're not obliged to buy Hills (or any other brand) from the vet - you can find it cheaper online (try zooplus.com or vetshop.co.uk).
One of our 17-year olds has Royal Canin Senior Consult Stage 2 wet food which seems to be really good for her coat. There's a Stage 1 for slightly younger cats, and there's a dry version.

Mine are senior and still eat normal Felix/Sheba. Robbie will occassionally have the senior brand of Felix but they don't get anything special. I certainly wouldn't be buying vet food unless it was essential!
