11 week old puppy wanting adult dog food?

Generally the adult food should be harmless, but they really should be eating the puppy food to be sure she's getting all of her "puppy" nutrients. You should try mixing it first. Otherwise you can give her the adult.

If she still eats the puppy food in the morning, continue to still give her that.

It should be ok. Puppy food is usually smaller. Also, the reason for puppy food is because it is higher in calories. Puppies need more calories then adult dogs. Also, there maybe some extra vitamins in the puppy food not present in the adult food and vise versa. For instance adult dog food contains glucosomean (spelling)? If you call the manufacture of the dog food, they should be able to provide you a good answer to your questions. Most dog food manufactures even have nutricianists to answer you questions.

11 week puppy wanting adult dog food

Puppy food is higher in calories and protein than adult food is all - there's no harm in letting her have some, just be sure you continue puppy food also.

High-quality food; either all-life-stages food or large-breed puppy food. These are some excellent options: - Canidae [all-life-stages] - Innova large breed puppy - Chicken Soup large breed puppy - Merrick Turducken [all-life-stages] - Eagle Pack Holistic Selects large & giant breed puppy - Blue Buffalo large breed puppy (available at Petsmart) - Solid Gold Wolfcub (available at some Petco) === Read the ingredients before you buy. Here is my "short list" of rules when I am looking at dog food ingredients: 1) When I chose a dog food, I chose one high meat content. I want to see preferably at least 2-3 out of the top 5 ingredients be meat or meat meal (first ingredient must be!). Meal is simply the meat with the moisture removed. 2) I want to see higher quality grains, such as barley, brown rice, and oatmeal, instead of seeing wheat and corn. Or an alternative starch/carbohydrate such as potatoes or sweet potatoes. 3) I don't want to see any byproducts. 4) I don't want to see a lot of fillers. 5) I don't want to see preservatives that are believed to be carcinogens (BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin). 6) I don't want to see artificial colorings such as the Red, Blue, and Yellow dyes. 7) I don't want to see added sugars (sugar, corn syrup). 8) I don't want to see mystery meats (meats identified only as "meat" or "poultry".) === When switching foods, do it gradually. I do this over about a two week timespan: 25% food A, 75% food B 50% food A, 50% food B 75% food A, 25% food B 100% food A . .

Adult dog food doesn't have the proteins that young puppies need. She'll eat her food eventually, just don't give her snacks and treats throughout the day.

Go for it.. I never feed puppy food and my dogs don't have any problems.

Feed it what it will eat.
