Is puppy food bad for an adult (1.5 yo) dog? What is the difference? |
There are a few reasons... Puppy food is ment for when puppies are growing into adults.. Their bones grow at a very fast rate, braina are developing and burning up cals and fat at a fast rate therefor needing the extra calories, fat and protien. So when a dog reaches adults the adult stage his body will not burn off the excess cals and fat and the dog could become VERY over weight.
Now our Chocolate lab Kylie we kept on puppy food till about 2 years old BUT she was so high energy she cold burn all that off. But it was not Orijin...
Orijin is already high enough in their Adult food which is more then some puppy food out there. We feed adult Orijin and Izzy has no trouble with it and she will be 1 year on the 25th...
