My puppy won't eat puppy food. Is adult dog food causing diarrhea?

Question

If my puppy refuses to eat Puppy Chow and only eats Dog Chow, is that okay? She's had diarrhe, and I think that's why. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 20 days old | 22 lbs

No, Bella has to have Puppy Chow. She needs higher amounts of calcium, calories, and protein than adult dogs, and only a puppy food will provide that for her. She may not like Puppy Chow, so other brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!
