OP, We have had lots of dogs. All of the them were rescues and we still do fostering for a breed rescue. We empathize with you and wish your family the best. It's never gets any easier seeing a buddy not doing well. Take your friend to the vet and have him checked out regarding his accidents...

I know folks poo poo mainstream brands like Iams. However, our black lab ran around happily until 15 on Iams adult kibble. Nothing fancy, fairly reasonably priced. No GI problems. Firm stool.
