Is it okay to feed 2 kinds of foods to a puppy. eg) Dick van patten's potato and duck , and Artemis small breed puppy formula. The Artemis I have to order and its 10.00 bucks everywhere and 10.00 or more to ship. The DVP potato and duck I can ge at the store.

You should try to stick to one food especially being a he is a pup so as to not upset his tummy. If you intend that to be his constant mix and not just sporradically it might work. I just worry mixing if I can tell if he/she has a bad reaction how I will be able to narrow it down to what caused it.

of course its ok to mix dry foods, I use two for the adults "natural balance all life stages and royal canin" and for the pups "natural balance all life stages small bits and royal canin puppy"

if they get bored with one they have the other for those picky eaters....

Well he hasnt been consistent so far. He is 8 weeks old and had been eating science diet(boo

). He wouldnt eat it. So I went and bought DVP natural balance so he wouldnt starve and he likes it (plus I think he has allergies). So I ordered online Artemis puppy because it is supposed to be excellent(just waiting for it in the mail. Im just wondering which one he will like better. DO I put 2 bowls of food and let him decide lol or do I feed them 2 separate times. Im confused. SOoooooooooooo.

Artemis 5 star and DVP 4 star are okay to rotate with?

You could just stick to one or mix both kinds in one bowl. Whatever you want to do is fine.
