What senior food for my sensitive, grain-free, low-fat dog?

Question

My dog currently eats a "limited ingredient" dog food as she has always had a sensitive stomach. She does best without grains and without too much fat. I've been told that she needs to switch to a "Senior" food as she gets older, but I'm having a hard time finding that with her dietary restrictions. How do I keep feeding her well as she ages? Is there a limited food for seniors I haven't found or do I need to start cooking for her? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 65 lbs

My understanding with senior diets is that there are no general guidelines that all follow. This can lead to a wide variation in the protein and mineral content of these senior diets. In general, if a senior dog is healthy and doing well on their current adult diet, I do not recommend switching diets, nor do most veterinary nutritionists. As always, talk to Tova's vet to see if their recommendation differs, but given her sensitive stomach concerns, I would hesitate to change anything.
