Puppy wont eat puppy food!

Tia my 15 week old Jack Russell refuses to eat her puppy food (Burns mini bites) and will only eat my other two dogs food (Burns Adult). Do you think it will do her any harm growth wise?

Have you phoned Burns yet to ask them for advice. Star was just under 6 months when I changed her onto adult Burns.

Can Tia manage the size of the adult kibble

She doesnt have any prblem eating it, so I just leave her too it. What happens is she gets a bowl of Mini Bites whilst Max and Saffy have their adult food, but she just ignores her food and runs outside to steal off Saffy and Max (who let her), she just leaves hers all the time!!! I even tried keeping her in the kitchen with me whilst the other ate outside but she still didnt touch her and just waited until their next feed to go stealing.

I would phone Burns then and get their advice.

I need to phone them about Star. If she is ill for one day she looks like a skeleton so I am thinking of changing her onto the Canine Active once a day and the normal Burns once to see how she does on that. After being ill last week her collar is falling off that just after missing 3 meals.

Roxy, I had the same problem with Savannah. It seemed like she just wanted to be like everyone else I started feeding her first individually, and it corrected the problem. She still eats the adult food if my other dogs don't finish, and I allow it because she's getting her puppy food.
