Any Q

“Growth” foods necessary at the puppy stage have higher protein levels and calorie counts to meet your pup's developmental needs. 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.


How long should a puppy eat puppy food?

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.

Is it OK to give a puppy regular dog food?

Puppies need a finely-tuned balance, which many adult dog foods don't necessarily provide. If you do choose to feed your pup adult dog food, then that's okay. Adult food won't necessarily make your puppy seriously ill - it's dog food after all. They may, however, experience an upset stomach here and there.
