Diabetes still got her when she was 8. Rally bad too. She only made it another 8 months or so after diagnosis, taking shots twice a day before I had to bring her in for her last vet trip, blind and terribly under weight.
Every dog I've ever had on Purina died of simple old age and not some sort of disease.
Limited data for sure, but I've got my current dogs on Pro Plan. We'll see how that turns out 8-10 years from now.
