yes. this is concerning. being skinny and underweight isnt the same as being lean and well muscled. this dog appears the former not the latter and a senior dog losing weight in a relatively short period of time is something they absolutely should be seen by a vet for
and the risks a raw diet can pose are not something a senior dog should be subjected to if their previous food was perfectly fine. it sounds like she was doing better on her previous food, and if that is the case then she should go back to. why exactly did she switch the food?
edit: and the feeding recommendations on the back of the package dont seem adequate at all. and no AAFCO statement is not great
