I agree all the way with you. My pup wasn't even wanting her food(she was 5 1/2 mos when I got her), she would go to the kitchen and eat the other dogs food, and then woulnd't touch her puppy food. She's almost 7 mos now, and will only eat the eukanuba naturally wild that is out for the other ones. My vet also agreed, that small dogs usually slow down with their growth around 6 mos. although, some vets say 8 mos
