In reply to John. Hey there, John. While the adult dog food isn't acutely dangerous to your new puppy, you do need her to eat a puppy food that'll give her the nutrition young dogs need. You may want to try some dog food toppers -- they can help make the puppy food taste a little better. Best of luck!

We got a 13 week old Yorkie about a week ago and have tried several different puppy foods with no luck. She will only eat the small breed adult food that we feed our 6 year old pomeranian. I don’t know what to do

In reply to Celina. Hey there, Celina. You have a couple of options here, but we'd encourage you to talk them all over with your vet before deciding on an approach. The easiest solution may just be to try a different puppy food -- there are scads on the market, and you may just need to let your pupper try another flavor. You could also try using a dog food topper to make dinner seem more appealing. Best of luck!

My almost 3 month old puppy prefers her mother’s adult kibble. He sniffs the puppy kibble and turns away. I aometimes mix a little adult food just so he can eat but Im a little apprehensive about this. What do I do?

In reply to Bernadette. Glad you enjoyed the article, Bernadette, but I'm not sure that a food switch would cause the kind of behavioral issue you describe. It's probably worth a phone call to your vet, just to be safe.
