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?

You can feed them the same food..but I recommend them having their own bowls so u can feed fir their specific nutritional needs...also be advised that the grain free foods may give your puppies diarrhea...I recommend waiting until they are adults to fees them this...but when you do this food is awesome especially for Labs

Blue Buffalo wilderness dog food is an excellent brand. But feeding a three-month-old puppy adult dog food is something you're going to have to ask your veterinarian about. You can even call them up and ask one over the phone I'm sure they'll answer no charge.

BB has puppy dog food also which gives a higher caloric intake. I know getting two different foods is a pain but it is only for a short time. I have done some study on different dog foods because one of my dogs ended up with kidney stones. What I found was that grain free is the way to go. Also making sure your dog gets plenty of water. I add a little water to there food and they at it all up within 5 mins.

You can feed them the same food. The only real difference between puppy and dog food is the nutrition ratio for fat, protein, and calories. However BB is a great brand so you shouldn't even have to worry about all that.

Very small. My 12-13 lb. miniature Dachshund ate it with no problem...and my 65-70 lb. mixed breed prefers this one over the larger version. :)

you have to talk with your vet. the ingredients on same for dogs and humans is not identical, the differences may not be beneficial to your dog.

I've switched my dogs up on different flavors and never had a problem but they are both grown

Yes, absolutely! I have a 17 lb dachshund/yorkie mix, and he LOVES it! I was on Organix for years, which he ate. Then I switched to Newman's Own after I read all the positive reviews here. After that, he refused to eat the small amount of Organix I had left--even after I added some bacon fat to it! Have used Newman's Own for years, and he just loves it. Highly recommended. (FYI, I use the advanced formula, because my dog is 10 years old.)P.S. Don't get the 7 lb bag. You can get the 12 lb bag for only 3 dollars more, and there will be free shipping--so it'll actually be cheaper than the 7 lb bag! I get the 12 lb bag and split it into 2 bags when I get it, so it doesn't go stale. Yes, absolutely! I have a 17 lb dachshund/yorkie mix, and he LOVES it! I was on Organix for years, which he ate.

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 bought the small one for my lab pup and it was perfect size, although I belibe there is one even smaller than the "small" sized one. Try the medium sized one, cause it won't matter so much the size as even if it is too big your dog will still be able to work on getting the treats out and can still chew on different ends of it.

My dog is still a puppy - only weighing 25 pounds at the moment - but from the looks of it, a 74lb lab/hound mix should do fine in there - especially if only for a couple hours.

Keep in mind, I'm only commenting on the puppy food. I do believe they have adult dog food in large kibble size for that specific purpose. This one is just the 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

According to my vet, feed your dog puppy food for about a year, but it would be wise to ask the Vet, or if dog reaches a certain weight depending on breed, it is certainly safe to feed him/her adult food at that time. I found that my dog transitioned very well with Blue Buffalo puppy food to adult food of same brand.

Yes, I would think so. We have a chow retriever mix and a rottie. The rottie tears things up fast but this has lasted so far. We haven't had it to long tjough.

The pieces are very small. This was the food we feed our 13 week puppy and she has no trouble. It's great food..all I our dogs like it (from the puppy to our 15 pound cockapoo).

yes, that is not a problem. I have used the small kibble and the larger bites. both work.

Seems like a lot. I have a 10 lb min-pin/Chihuahua mix and she gets 1/3 cup total split over two meals. She really loves this food so I worry that she'll end up putting on weight if I feed her more. As another person mentioned, just keep a close watch on the weight to see if they're getting bigger.

I don't see why not, but I would check with your vet just in case!! Mixup well with wet food!! Good luck!!

I've never bought the small breed one. You should be able to see the ingredients in the description of the product. I would guess most of them are similar. I like the product and my dog gobbles it right up mixed with his food. My vet said she uses it too.
