Hi Mallory! First of all, ear infections are often a sign of a wheat allergy. So please tell your friend to stop feeding anything with wheat - even treats with wheat can flare up an ear infection again. Also does it necessarily have to be a senior diet? Most senior foods are just lower in calorie (and meat). Some will have stuff for the joints and maybe easier to digest, but if she has 2 dogs of different ages it would be so much easier to feed an all life stages formula.
Diamond makes a lamb and rice and chicken and rice diet that is corn and wheat free (2 of the most common allergies in dogs). They run under $30.00 a bag anywhere - cheaper than Iams and actually better. Diamond can be found in some Petco's and many, many country feed stores.
Pro Pac is another inexpensive good dog food. They make a wheat free lamb formula that is under $30 a bag. This can be found in some Pet Supplies "Plus's" and alot of country feed stores.
Sensible Choice makes a Lamb and Rice and Chicken Rice diet, but it usually around $32 a bag. This can be found in Petco and Pet Supplies "Plus."
Canidae is often under $30 a bag depending on where you go. Also wheat and corn free and, in my opinion, the best of the above.
