It is much more dangerous to have your puppy overweight than to have your older dog momentarily upset by a change in routine. The puppy could suffer from joint problems later in life if too much stressed is placed on them in these growing months.
I totally agree. It is more important to keep a pups weight down. Your older dog will not starve her self and will get used to eating at proper meal times.
