There is no exact time or age when it comes to transitioning puppies from puppy food to adult dog food. Several factors should be considered including the dog’s expected adult size and bone maturity of the puppy.
Small dog breeds, like Pugs and Poodles, have a shorter growing period and are considered adults as early as 8 months of age. Large dog breeds, such as St. Bernards and Great Danes are still growing at the age of 2!
As to transitioning your pet’s diet, take note that the transition period should be gradual, extending for more than a week or more. Doing this can help avoid upsetting your dog’s digestive system since it is still getting used to the new diet. The transition period can help adjust your pet’s stomach to the inevitable changes.
It is recommended to consult your licensed veterinarians Scottsdale AZ before transitioning your pet from baby to adult dog food.
