I have a 11 year old Bichon fries and he is getting up with age. He has some arthritis in his hips. What should I feed him in his older years?

You can feed him a prescription diet such as Hills j/d Mobility/Joint Care. You can also feed him any good brand complete dog food for senior small breeds. I like to feed Iams or Hill's or Purina ProPlan.
