I have a mini dachshund (1 year and 3 months old) and a labrador mix puppy (4 months old), wondering if it would be bad to fee them the same food?

Puppies like your lab mix and adolescents like your mini dach have different nutritional needs as they are in different stages of development and are very different in size and activity level. It's not entirely dependent on breed, but size age and activity level have the most to do with what you should be feeding your pooches. Good on you for looking at the better formulas, not the grain filler crap.

My opinion is try the food in small portion with his old food for 14 days and she how it goes, then serve as regular feeding.

Puppies have different nutritional needs and my understanding is that they should be given "puppy" food for their first year. I have a puppy that's 6 months and I still feed her the Blue Buffalo puppy food.

Stick with puppy food til hes a year old. Mine did that on Purina but now they poop less because C of W has a lot less junk in it. This costs more but you actually feed less. Maybe feed 2 smaller meals a day and add coconut oil

That should not be a problem for your puppy! We have friends who are also getting this for their Jack Russell Terrier since they have seen how it works. We have owned both a Dachsund and a Beagle and they should be able to handle the dish...it's kind of fun to watch them eat and manage it!

The pieces of food are fairly small, so if that is the point of inquiry, I would say it should be fine. My dog is an 80 lb. Lab and he loves this food. His coat is shiny and he LOVES this food. I did quite a bit of comparing brands and I found this brand to be quite high in nutrition without a lot of fillers. As I said before, my 10 year old Lab is thriving on newman's Own.

Absolutely! I moved my 4 dogs from Wellness small breed to Core and made sure that I slowly transitioned from 1 food to the other, even though I was still feeding a Wellness food. In the same way, I recently transferred 1 of my dogs from Wellness Core to their senior small breed formula. Within the first few days, I forgot (one day) and gave straight senior formula to this one dog and she had diarrhea...back to the slow transition!

I think this is suitable for a large breed puppy. I have a Cockapoo, my daughter has a Australian Labradoodle, and we each are feeding our puppies this dog food. It is the only food that her breeder will feed her dogs, so she got us started using this food. We have never had a problem.

My dog isn't full grown yet, but it is supposed to. I have my Pitt in the smaller one and have not had a problem.

My dog loves both, she's not been exposed to too many types of food however. Unless your dog has a special need that requires that it be fed on a specific schedule then I would suggest leaving the food down for half an hour and picking it up. Eaten or not. Your dog will get hungry enough to eat. It may seem a bit harsh, but it works (most of the time). If your dog doesn't eat for a few days then feed it, don't want any suffering, but you may need to see a vet at that point to address why your dog will not eat certain foods.

We would recommend the Regular size. And if you find these are too big for your dog to chew properly, you can feed the Petite since your dog sits right on the feeding guideline for both.

I would try a small bag of the taste of the wild first to see if he has any issues with it. Also the puppy blend is higher in calories which puppy's need and can use because they are very active. Once he is over a year or when recommend by your vet I would switch to the adult blend.

I have 3 mini doxies, and one of them is too small to get it in her mouth. I cut the small end off all of them and let my little one have it. The other two keep the bigger ones. I put a little cashew butter in them, and it keeps the dogs busy for awhile.

They are not small nor large.... More middle size... I think they would be fine for a smaller dog. I have labs and my dogs love this food.... If anything, the size is too small for a bigger dog, but they can eat any size.

I've used with my lab/rottie mix and our mini dachshund, but the dachshund does get jerked around. Better for dogs of equal weight in my opinion.

No they should be fine eating it. I have 2 mutts both under 20#'s who eat it just fine and the kibbles are small so I think it would be good for even smaller breeds.

I have a 65 pound mix and a 55 pound Pitty and neither of them had any issues eating them. I think if your dog is okay eating things like kibble she'll be okay eating these, as they are at least 3 inches in length. Plus the dogs adore them!!

Depends. Maybe if dogs are small and if they can share food. Only 1-10 treats at a time are dispensed and the feeding dish area is small

This is great dog food, however, might wanna get puppy food! More calories etc to help em grow:))
