Any Q

Depending on your puppy's breed and size, you'll likely switch to adult dog food between seven and 14 months. Puppies need the most food when they are around six- to 12-weeks-old. At this stage, you will need to feed them three times a day. As your puppy gets older, you'll gradually reduce the feeding to twice a day. 19 дек. 2020 г.


When should you switch your puppy to dog food?

But once your pup is six to 12 months old those needs change. That's usually when your puppy is nearing his adult height and can transition to adult food. Spaying or neutering usually occurs at this age as well, lowering your dog's need for increased energy; hence a reason to switch from puppy to adult dog food.

Can I feed my dog puppy food forever?

Short answer – yes, but they probably shouldn't. Puppy foods are specifically designed to accommodate growth. Once your dog has reached adulthood, the only way a puppy food will help them grow is out.
