Is my dog food for puppies or adults? Can I add human gravy?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Is the dog food I bought for adults or puppies? It’s very confusing because on the front of the box it says “100% complete and balanced food for adult dogs” but on the back it says “can be fed from 8 weeks onwards” also it’s dry food and my dogs won’t eat it unless I soak it in human gravy is this ok?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the bag says it is for "All Life stages" then it is fine for growth (meaning for puppies). I would try to not add human foods. If your dogs won't eat this food well I would try a different brand or try adding water to the dry food or even add a tablespoon of canned food with water. Adding human foods is a slippery slope. Good luck!
