My yorkie baby is eating... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My 10 week old yorkie is eating my chocolate labs dog food, he has his own but won't eat much of it, but as soon as I take him out side to potty he is eating his big sister food, I don't know of that's a bad thing, it's not the food that I want him on, any suggestions on how to get him to eat his food? Im also going to start putting my nova girls food up when we go outside for potty.

It's not the end of the world for a puppy to eat adult food - the nutrition content is just a bit different though.

I'd try sprinkling Parmesan cheese your pup's food.

Well then as long as it's good for him and he likes it then I'll not worry, I'll try the parmesan thanks for the suggestion, I guess im not so much worried about him eating other food it's more of the fact of him eating his food, he doesn't eat much of it when he is inside but as soon as we go out to potty he will eat his sisters food.. I just want him to be getting enough food..

It might not work for you since yours is a bigger lab, but with mine (both Yorkies) they are 1.5 years apart. So when Casie came home to us at 5 months, I had to switch Scottie's adult food and fed them both the puppy kibble. They both wanted each other's food so I had to decide on just one to feed

I had the same problem...I ended up switching to a food that is meant for all life stages (acana brand but there are others)-puppy through adult-problem solved! They both love it.
