Now Lily is mixing with my other dogs she seems to prefer their adult version of Burns, I asked Burns if it was ok for a 4 month old pup to be eating this and they said it was fine.......to be honest it smells better. alot more appetising! So at the moment, she has her own meals and quite often steals some chicken & rice version

Doesn't seem to have done her any harm

I kept Dinah on the Burns puppy till she was nearly six months but she seems to enjoy the adult version better. Loves the fish variety.
She seems to be growing/filling out nicely and she has/gives herself lots of exercise. I guess it's down to the individual.
I never knew it was so technical!

I was actually thinking of feeding adult food from the start (well after a few weeks settling in) and just soaking it. I was told by Burns that as long as they could cope with the size of the kibble it was ok to feed it.

The puppy kibble is very small and she seemed to have a mountain to get through. A mugful of the adult disappears in no time, accompanied by waggy tail (has your baby still got his tail? - if not it will be a waggy bum!)

Has anyone put their pup straight onto adult food straight away and soaked it to make it more manageable for a pup?

Macey has adult Autarky - I did buy the puppy one but they just swopped and changed bowls so much I gave her the adult -shes been fine on it -But she's a little terrier ( if that makes any difference ? )
