Adult dogs and puppies (under 12 months) have different nutritional requirements. You should be feeding Terry a good quality puppy food and the other dog a good quality adult diet. You can transition the pup to an adult diet at 12 months of age. Feeding a puppy diet to an adult dog may predispose it to obesity.
