I have to m ix kibble with can for him. just a little bit of can beause he wont eat the k ibble unless it is mixed with can.
then I have my new yorkie pup, 7 weeks old today, who has to et a high quality puppy food . Right ow its canned, Wellness core grain free until her teeth come full in. then I will switch her over to the wellness smallbreed super5mix just for puppies. I have already started giving her some of this. I just break the pieces in half so if she doesnt chew it, she wont choke on it. she likes it. But for main feeding she gets canned still.
In any case, it never fails, all of my dogs want to eat the other dogs food, not their own. So I feed old girl first, then the 14 month old, then the puppy. Course the puppy eats far more often then the other two. |
Just a suggestion: There are several companys that make a full life cycle food (puppy to senior). As for to hard for the puppy or senior,add warm water and let it soften. You can still add canned to it if you wish.
I feed 5 soon to be 6 dogs: ages 12 yrs to 8 months and a new pup in April. I use glass custard cups for the little guy that has a hard time with the kibble so I can add water. Everyone else eats on paper plates. Both meals involve wet food mixed with kibble. Two of my dogs are allergic to fish anything ,that means no fish oil either ,one is allergic to chicken and no one handles grain very well. Choosing a food was a bit of a challenge.
