    I prefer to not feed puppy food at all... in fact my next pup will be raised on an all life stages food like Innova.


    *Thanks Ashley*

    Ditto. I don't have much faith in kibble at all anymore. If I had to, I'd feed an all-lifestages food like Innova or Canidae, etc.

    I fed Molli puppy food until she was a year old and will do the same with Sam.

    Personally any dog that is of medium size or larger I would ween them off at about 4-6 months of age. Smaller breeds I would feed puppy kibble until they are about 9-12 months of age. The all life stages formulas are great for any age.
    But it also depends on the formula too, some of the better brands offer a large breed puppy, in that case it would be alright to feed it for an additional couple of months.

    I was getting ready to post something about this .
    Lily is on Pro Plan Small Breed Puppy. I know alot of people don't like it, but she does really well on it. They have a Pro Plan Small Breed Adult, that we will be switching to, but I wasn't sure when. She'll be 6months old on April 13, and we have to buy her a new jug of food soon...so...I was thinking about going ahead and getting the adult?
    What do you guys think?

    Bri, personally I'd keep her on puppy food until she's about 9-12 months of age.

    Hi.
    I thought I'd respond to this old thread. Thanks for all your responses.
    I'm mostly feeding Daisy raw, now, and have been for about 6 weeks. Chicken, veggies, some steak & roast beef, beef kidney & liver. She's responding well.
    But I keep a quality puppy kibble around,
    just in case.
