dog food problem...

My 11 month old Australian shepherd has sort of a problem. Since we have puppies and dogs we have puppy food and dog food. Well, Bandit (my Aussie) won't eat anything but the puppy food. He only eats the dog food if I hand feed it to him. I am afraid that once the puppies are gone, he won't eat. I want him to eat dog food because it has more nutrients for an adult dog. I know Bandit is still practicallly a puppy, but he has the body of an adult and I am pretty sue it owrks like an adults, too. Thanks.

I would keep him away from the puppy food. When he gets hungry enough, he will eat his normal food.
