| Who's food? I just recently got a second puppy, and now Teddy eats the puppy food, and Talia the puppy eats his food?? Has anyone else gone through this? |

| Yep - it's called the "it's mine" attitude. My girls do it - I put down their food and they swap bowls. If I put them back on their own bowls they just swap again.

| Yep, I think they all do that. Have you tried a food that's good for all life's stages? That way you won't have to use 2 different kinds. |

My furkids Donating Member | My adult did this too...I asked my vet if this was ok and he said no...Puppies NEED puppy food and adults NEED adult food... so.........I swithched them to Canidae all stages....solved the problem!

| I think the all stages is a good idea - but I just fed both of mine puppy food (they were one year apart) until I could put both on adult food....... probably not the best, but both seem healthy and happy now and years 1 and 2.

| Mine did something similar. They were both on puppy food at the time, but Wes was on Royal Canin and Maddie was on Eukanuba. They both at each other's food. I just mixed them together. Now they are both on a mixture of Canidae all life stages and Artemis. I would recommend switching yours to Canidae all life stages so that they both get the nutrition they need. |

| No it isn't available at Pet Smart, and I quote per the South East sales rep "Canidae does NOT do business with big box retailers. We support the independent retailers to the fullest extent. We have several reasons for this: 1. We make all our food in small batches so we would not be able to accomodate selling to large stores such as PetsMart, Petco, Target, Wal Mart and so on. 2. We use the highest quality ingredients. Big Box retailers expect LARGE discounts in order to carry our food (they try to bully the manufacture to get the lowest possible price) Canidae refuses to ruin the integrity of our foods by purchasing lower quality ingredients so we can reduce the prices for the big box retailers. 3.Big Box retailers do NOT have the ability to fully train their staff on the benefits of feeding an all natural holistic food" |

| There are alot of Canidae users on this site. I have a 4 month old and thinking about changing her to Canidae, just not sure which one to try. Do they make a puppy food? |
