Hey everyone! I have a 13 week old that insists on eating my senior dogs food... and my senior dog tries to sneak some of her puppy food, which i know can make him really fat... i was wondering if there was anyway to feed them the same food.... if any of you have an advice that would be great! Thanks!

Hi, Christina.

I feed my almost 7, and 9 & 1/2 year old girls, Nature's Variety Prairie. They eat a rotation daily, of canned, frozen, and kibble, plus a home cooked meal. (My 9 & 1/2 year old has the energy of a puppy on this food!)

They are doing great on it. Here's the web-site if you are interested.

I would say that you can't feed them the same food because your pup needs puppy food. If your older dog id on senior you are probably doing the right thing if it has been working for you. I feed my pup a mixture of Puppy Pro Plan and Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover's Soul. I know the hard part will be not leaving the food down all the time so everyone isn't eating the wrong food. Good luck

yeah its a pain feeding them... i come home after work and want to feed them both at the same time. and they try to switch bowls... cuz i know my 12 y/o can smell the fatty food of the puppy and the puppy just wants what my 12 y/o(MAX) is eating... i tried to feed max out of a martini glass but the baby just knocks it down.. and she hates it when shes separated from him... yeah i know, i let her walk all over me...im workin on it.. hehe ... i just figured good nutritious food is good for any age...
