Switching to adult food

• Switching to adult food RidgebackGermansShep Posted : 7/12/2006 4:20:15 PM How old should my pup be before he is switched to an adult formula? I've heard a lot of different things, and i'm quite confused. He looks to me like he is a little bit chubby...i think that adult food may slim him down a bit. He's 7 mos right now and eats large breed puppy food.

• Rom Gateb Posted : 7/12/2006 7:33:23 PM I would say 1 year old.  Or you could just switch to an All Life Stages food and feed appropriatley.  That's what I did.  It took away all the confusion.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• shamrockmommy Posted : 7/12/2006 10:37:56 PM Small dogs: 1 year switch to adult food Big dogs: 7 to 9 months switch to adult food (but increase amounts as needed)   Or All Life Stages and follow the directions- usually means feeding more food and/or more frequently throughout the day.   Not sure what I will do in the event I ever get another puppy (will be years from now).  I love what PetGuard is doing for my guys and it's all life stages. The kibble size is a bit big for little dogs but my poodle had no problems with it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 7/16/2006 8:57:47 PM I don't feed puppy food. I fed Emma puppy food for a bit, but it disagreed with her. Of course, now I know that it was too much protein.... I've raised every foster pup since her on all life stages food, and they've done fantastically well. Grew into wonderful, big dogs. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• bichinpanda Posted : 7/18/2006 11:01:11 PM Dweezil is almost 9 months ... I switched her to adult food about a month ago -- our vet said that they say at 8 or 9 months you can begin to switch over (slowly) if you want to.  She loves her adult food a lot more, anyway... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
