I have just taken full care of my late mother's siberian husky. She is 17 years old and suprisingly still rather active. She doesn't respond to whistling or shouting anymore, but I get her attention my clapping rather easily. Her vision is not what it was but if I stay close enough she has no problem following me. She was knocked down by a car when she was very young, and is a slow walker. She still manages to do a decent walk each day. I am mindful to keep the walks realistic and easy for her. She can be fiesty and I am not really sure how she has kept going at this rate for so long.

My main query is what kind of diet should I provide for a dog so advanced in years. I am aware that she cannot possibly hang on for a great deal longer, but I want her to have the best quality of life and the best possible standard of health for the time she has left. At present I feed her the best dry food they have in our local supermarket and peices of raw steak for her breakfast.

All advice will be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
Sam

Id keep her on what she's used to , at that age you don't want to upset her stomach , as a special treat you can't go wrong with meat , just not pork 

I have dug out two different articles for you to read that may help you  - and will definitely help your dog.
