if they become less active, and maybe gain weight, you simply reduce the amount. That's why a consult is done to determime all this. Humans are no different, as we burn less calories with age, we need to make up somehow ,ie reducing our intake . Sabine makes a diet with the exact calorie intake. And if you monitor like everyone should be , you reduce or add as required.

Tyler has always had the same amount for his meals his entire 15 years. He gets 1/3 of kibble in the morning and again for his evening meal. He has some type or veggie or fat free yogurt thrown in and, if he has had extra treats during the day, I reduce his evening meal a bit. He weighs a little under 14# and is a perfect weight for his size per his vet. Also, he pretty much sleeps all day with the exception of a short daily walk and little longer walk on one of our beaches on Sunday. Hope that helps.
