problem with puppy food.

[coolkidd]

I have a 12 year old chow and a seven week old spitz.
My puppy (Spykur) keeps trying to eat the olderr dog's (Jewel)food. While hes eating Jewel's food he growls whenever she comes near. (which is quite hilarious because he could quite easily fit in her mouth) I don't want him thinking he has two sets of food bowls, so today i tried putting some of her food in his dish. But im wondering if its okay if he has her dry adult kibble, or is that unsafe? He's still getting his puppy food three times a day, just he also eats some kibble in between. (=

Why not switch to an All Life Stages food?

That way is doesn't matter who is the food. Just make sure you get the chicken, turkey one instead of just chicken. It ranks higher in quality etc according to all the sites I have read. Canidae is excellent food.

Okay thanks a lot. (=
But for the puppy i have to switch kind of gradually right?

Usually if you are going from a really bad food to a really good food you don't have to switch too gradually but mixing the two foods is still best. What are you feeding now? I also recommend Canidae. I would feed your dogs in different rooms so that your older dog does not injure or kill your pup if he shoves his head in his bowl. You could also feed the pup in a crate.
