I've got an 8 week old pup that I've been feeding pride puppy. He's doing really well on it but I can't keep him out of the other dogs purina one. Has any one ever feed a puppy purina one adult food and what are your thoughts. It would make it a lot easier

To be honest the Purina One adult food is likely more nutritious and better for the pup.

If you do change him leave him on it. Puppies will often try to eat other food just because it tastes different.

I use purina one puppy or large breed puppy depending on size of pup. I do not put a pup on adult food until they are 11-12 months old. also the k9 puppy gold powder is good to give them as well. will help give them a good start.

Puppy food has dha for devoloping their brain adult food does not . Vets are putting adult dogs that have sezures on puppy food to keep the sezures down
