How do I keep Leo from eating Delilah's puppy food? I want to leave it out for her so she can eat when she's hungry but when I do that, Leo eats it. I don't want to have to keep moving it because I want her to know her food will always be in the same place. Suggestions?? TIA.

If the different foods are because of puppy and adult I would just give them both puppy food untill the puppy is ready for adult

I never feed mine puppy formulas. Puppy formulas contain more protein and with small breeds it's not necessary. All of mine eat the same thing.

Ok, so with horses when we start to introduce solid food to the baby, we build a section that only the baby can get into that holds his food, so the mare can't reach it. Usually by putting up a few boards across a corner and then put the babies bucket of food in there. Not knowing how big Leo is, is there anyway you can make something that only the Delilah could get into?

Other then that, like bchgirl said, we never fed puppy food. Our 2 pups ate an all stage dog food right from the beginning.
