I suggest you feed Bailey a complete senior dog food for medium sized dogs. It is very possible that Chappie is not enough nutrition for Bailey. Look into brands such as Hill's , Royal Canin, Eukanuba, Iams or Purina ProPlan. It also may be a good idea to take him to a veterinarian for a wellness exam just to make sure that the weight loss is not caused by illness,
