| Difference between puppy food and adult doggie food Hi guys! Is there that big of a difference between puppy food and adult dog food? My 3.5mo is on Beneful because that's what the previous owner fed him...and I really want to get him off of that and I'm trying to find other choices based on the stickied food grading chart on this section. Thanks! Sam |

| I wanna say that puppy food has more calories than adult food has. I'd really tell you to consult with your vet before you do anything different.

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | How did he like the Life's Abundance Sample I sent him? I think I would get him on that and off of the Beneful for sure. Let me know if you need any help with your order or have any more questions Quote:

I thought I emailed you back! Well, in case you didn't get my e-mail, just know that I wasn't trying to avoid you..haha He likes them, I think! I just got them last night (Thurs.) because I usually get notified when I get mail, but this time I didn't for some reason. I think I may wean him onto LA..I heard it'll help his tear stains! Thanks so much for the samples! | |
