Thread: At what age should I switch from Puppy food to Adult?

    I think it depends on both the dog and the food being fed. Some dogs grow at a good rate on puppy food and some grow too quickly on puppy food. If a dog is growing to quickly they should be switched to adult to slow down their growth. I think small dogs should generally be switched to adult food around 6 months. Larger dogs maybe 9 months to a year. If you're unsure though I'd suggest talking to your vet.

    Thanks for all your suggestions. Bodie is a Lab/Golden mix and currently weighs approx 45lbs at 6 months. I'm feeding him Nutro.

    I agree with Jessika. Small breeds generally mature MUCH faster than large breeds. I'd say with a lab/golden mix, I'd wait closer to a year to switch.
