Best senior food for my small Yorkie with sensitive stomach?

Question

I have an 11 year old Yorkie, he weighs a little less than 4 lbs on a good day. I'm interested switching his food from Royal Canin Yorkie dry food to something more appropriate for senior dogs. Unfortunately he has a very sensitive GI system and I'd like to start to protect his kidneys too. Would the pictured food be beneficial for him?

No, urinary food is designed to treat bladder conditions such as stones and not designed for older dogs. Royal canin mature small dog would be the most appropriate option to minimize age related risks and 6-12monthly urine exams can help to identify an early kidney changes. Therapeutic kidney diets are not recommended as a prevention and should only be used if kidney changes are detected
