He’s getting to look old

Merlin will be 14 next weekend and his face is beginning to look old. He’s going pale round the eyes and his nose is very pale - never was black but used to be darker grey. I had the vet check him over and he is fine, so no need to worry - he’s just ageing naturally. Still very  active when we’re out but a total couch potato indoors and sleeps a lot. Getting a bit fussy with food too - sometimes doesn’t eat his dinner - can’t  leave it down or the others would pinch it so I add a bit of something ‘extra’ and he scoffs the lot! So I have started to add a bit of wet food to the kibble as well as the water  - not much just a ‘dogs fork’ full for him and a bit less for everyone else (have to treat them all the same). One 400g tin lasts three days so you can tell they don’t get much - they wont get fat on it! I bought 4 different varieties of Lily’s Kitchen - smells quite nice and is solid - no jelly or gravy just meat and veg - so they wont get bored with the same thing every day.
