What happens if a senior dog eats puppy food?
The main concern from an adult dog eating puppy food is weight gain. The large amount of fat in these mixes causes excessive weight gain which can lead to a multitude of health problems. Diabetes, joint pain, and general mobility difficulties can all be caused by weight gain.
Can I feed my adult dog puppy food once?
Short answer yes, but they probably shouldnt. Puppy foods are specifically designed to accommodate growth. Once your dog has reached adulthood, the only way a puppy food will help them grow is out.
How do you feed a puppy and older dog at the same time?
When the puppy comes home, continue the same schedule, crating the puppy during the older dogs meals. The puppy should probably be fed three times a day until hes older, when he will eat twice a day like the older dog.
