Thank you for submitting your question regarding Barry. Older dogs do not necessarily need to eat a senior diet. There is no standard as to what constitutes a senior food. Each dog food company will have a different version. Now if you have found a senior food and he is doing well on it, I would stay with that food. As far as kibble size, labs are not picky and do not seem to show a preference. I hope this information helps!
