Hi I have an 11 year old and a 2 year old chihuahua/terrier. My 11 year old is on a prescription diet dog food Hills science diet w/d. I was looking for a dog food that both my dogs can eat so I’m not constantly trying to keep them away from each other’s food, that will benefit my 11 yr olds weight and joints, but that will also be beneficial to my 2 yr old. Is there any such food?

You're in luck! Hill's make a food called Metabolic + Mobility that may be perfect for your dogs. I would talk with your veterinarian about it to make sure. Here is the food I mentioned: https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=31543
