I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone has any further thoughts about puppy vs. ALS food? I'm having trouble getting my 3 to eat their proper "adult" & "puppy" food. The nutritional analysis of food I am currently feeding is (ingredients are very similar, same brand):
PUPPY-
Crude Protein (% min.) 29.0
Crude Fat (% min.) 18.0
Crude Fiber (% max.) 3.5
Moisture (% max.) 10.0
ADULT-
Crude Protein (% min.) 22.0
Crude Fat (% min.) 16.0
Crude Fiber (% max.) 3.5
Moisture (% max.) 10.0
But I was considering 2 brands of ALS food with a protein content of 38% or 29%. Do Yorkies need that much protein? Is an adult food supplemented with some extra protein okay for a puppy? Or would a puppy food be okay for a young adult/teenager? After some research, I noticed that there really isn't a huge difference between puppy & adult foods. Is it all just a marketing ploy?
