Feeding different foods

We have been doing this since March. We have a senior and a puppy, both using Nutro formulas. Maggie, the senior, will eat whatever she`s given, Lola, the pup, favors the senior formula (and cat food!) and gets possessive of whatever dish she`s eating out of. We keep Maggie`s dish put up until she`s ready to eat. As long as she`s eating Lola won`t bother her, but as soon as she steps away Lola is right there finishing what is left. Its kind of a pain, paying attention to which dog is in the house and which dish is out, but is getting better; Lola used to try stealing Maggie`s food *while* she was eating.

I think you`ll have to plan on feeding them separately until you can find a food they will both do well on. Good luck!
