Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 18 days old | 14.5 lbs
Our 7 month old Jack Russell likes small breed senior dog food. We cook chicken breast to add to this. Is it OK to continue with. She has been fed puppy dog food until recently. ,

It depends on the brand of food. Read the bag and if it says it is "approved for all life stages" then it should be OK. Adding the chicken is fine but that won't balance the diet for an adult dog vs a senior dog. If you want to continue with the senior food then I would suggest getting her a multi-vitamin so that you are sure she is getting all the nutrients she needs.
