Chunky Yorkie :)

Hi There!

My new puppy (4 months) has been eating her Royal Canine puppy food. Our older yorkie (1.5 yrs old) is on the adult formula. The problem is, we cannot separate their food, they are much more interested in the other dogs food, so we ultimately had to mix the food so at least they are getting SOME of the proper nutrients. The problem is, our oldest yorkie is really starting to pork up! She is very tiny (or was!) and now she barely has a neck! I dont want to take away the puppy food b/c our puppy really does need to gain some weight, she's a tiny little thing! Any suggestions? We tried putting our puppy in a pen all day and that was our way of separating their food, but she just crawled out each day, so we ultimately had to leave them out together. I dont want to keep their food from them, i am more comfortable with them grazing then having set feeding times. Our oldest always UNDER ate before we got our puppy, but now she is really getting into the puppy formula! Our breeder also had our puppy trained as a grazer, so we dont want to get them out of that routine. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

Why not get a Brand that is All Life Stages so they bot can eat the same thing? I think Canidae makes an All Life Stages

Both my yorkies, Bogey who will soon be three & Pebbles who will soon be one -eat both the same food. I tried puppy food for Pebbles (we got her at 12 wks) but she wouldn't eat out of anything but Bogey's bowl. So I swapped everyone including the golden to Candidae and they all love it. It's so much easier & at the same time they're getting quality food.
