At what age is a Cane Corso considered senior?

Generally around 7 years of age. Large breeds age faster than small dogs, and the Cane Corso's 9–12 year lifespan means the senior phase begins relatively early by dog standards.

What health problems are most common in older Cane Corsos?

Hip and elbow dysplasia-related arthritis, dilated cardiomyopathy, and GDV (bloat) are the most significant age-related concerns in the breed. Regular vet checkups every six months help catch these issues early.

Should I reduce my senior Cane Corso's food intake?

Possibly, if body condition shows weight gain — calorie needs decrease as activity drops. However, protein should remain adequate to maintain muscle mass. A senior large-breed formula typically strikes the right balance; your vet can advise if medical conditions affect this.
