I think you could possably get away with both on the same food but you would have to suppliment your older dog with what your missing by taking away the senior food. With a hip problem you might consider something like glucosamine or go the holistic approace. However, buying the extra suppliments and feeding the same food might not be much of a differnce in price when you compair it to buying seperate foods.
When I had two dogs one was on weight control and the other on lg dog joint support, no way I could feed them the same thing so I had to settle on buying two differnt foods. I say whatever works the best for your dog then buy that. I'm so very poor right now (college stold all my money) but when it comes to my dogs health and nutrition I don't care one bit about spending the extra to make shure she has everything she needs. If you skip out on nutrion now you'll be paying for it later when your dog is even older.
