Hi Everyone! I have a question.....will it hurt Drake (my 5 lb. yorkie that is 18 months old) to eat Large Breed Puppy food? We got a new lab puppy and that's what he eats, and I CANNOT keep Harley & Drake out of it! They have their own food, and I keep the lab's food put up until we bring him in to feed him and when we do, Harley & Drake will just nudge their way in and gobble it down! I thought maybe it was a "jealousy" thing, so I tried to trick them and put some of THEIR food in the lab's dish and they both went over and smelled it and walked away while the lab was gobbling it down! He doesn't care what he eats! lol

Since the time we've gotten the lab with his food, Drake has had diarrhea off and on and even blood & mucous in his stools! I took him to the vet and they found nothing WRONG with him, so he figured it must be the change of food!

So, since they seem to like it so much, should I just switch their food to that and let them eat it????

It's Iams Large Breed Puppy food! Maybe the Iams regular puppy food would taste the same??? HELP!!!!!
