Feeding an Older Dog?

I have a 10 year old Cocker Spaniel. She hasn't had a solid bowel movement in a week. I would like to make sure that she is receiving the correct diet. Can any one help me with what is the appropriate food she should receive?

Make sure the dog is getting a diet that is higher in fiber and lower in calories than the diet he ate when he was younger

Try adding mashed cooked pumpkin in the dogs food & maybe a little finely chopped seedless apple. The apple can be given at anytime.

Finely chopped SEEDLESS watermelon may help as well. These fruits are good for your dog at anytime.

The diet should have adequate fat and protein in it,and be high in fiber.The older dog should be fed a smaller quantity,as they are not as active anymore.
Homemade diets like rice,potatoes,vegetables,chicken and hamburgers is good for a dog too.
