My puppy and adult dog share food. What's the right diet for both?

Question

I just adopted a 14 week old shepherd/boxer mix. I alrdy have a 1 yr old boxer/lab. They keep eating each other's food and it's too difficult to keep them seperated. Is it best to have adult food for both or puppy food. Thanks for your time. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 25 lbs

The young puppy should be on puppy food in order to provide the balanced nutrition she requires for healthy growth and development, a large breed puppy food is recommended for optimal joint health. It is not ideal for adult dogs to be on puppy food as they may continue to 'grow' and become overwieght so you will have to monitor very closely if he has access to puppy food that he does not become obese
