How to Know When you Should Switch from Puppy to Adult Dog Food ? It's a lot of joy to raise a dog. Your adorable little fur baby is running around the house, wagging his tail and giving joy to your home. However, as he grows older, you may ask how long your puppy should continue to eat puppy food? As your puppy grows older, their nutritional requirements may change, but how can you know when it's time to switch to adult dog food? The size and breed of your puppy, as well as his metabolism, help decide when to transfer from puppy to adult dog food. When your puppy reaches adult height, you should start transitioning them to adult food. It would be great if our pet dogs could stay pups for the rest of their lives. But switching from puppy to adult food is a critical milestone as your dog matures. The best puppy foods are nutrient-dense and high in calories to help your puppy grow, develop, and maintain a high level of energy. If you continue to feed puppy food after he reaches maturity, he may become overweight, which can lead to various health issues. You can decide when to change to adult food after you know when your puppy will attain maturity.
When to Switch to Adult Dog Food: Breed Considerations ● Small and Toy Breeds When fully grown, small breed dogs weigh less than 20 pounds, whereas toy breeds weigh less than 12 pounds. Because toy and small breeds mature at a faster rate than larger breeds, you may need to switch to adult food sooner to maintain the ideal protein, fat, and calorie balance. Small breeds can mature in as little as seven months, whereas toy breeds might take up to ten months. ● Breeds of a Medium Size Medium-sized dogs weigh between 30 and 50 pounds when fully grown. Most puppies achieve adult weight between the ages of 10 and 12, while puppies at the larger end of this breed's size range may take up to 14 months to mature. ● Breeds that are large and giant When fully grown, large breed dogs weigh between 50 and 80 pounds, whereas gigantic breeds weigh more than 80 pounds. Large breeds can take more than a year to mature, and giant breeds can require up to two years. You should gradually move from puppy to adult food over the course of a few days. A sudden change in your dog's nutrition could upset his stomach. One simple method to help your dog enjoy wellbeing and live a long, happy life is to provide him a balanced amount of high-quality, age-appropriate food. You may feed your pet the finest quality ingredients by visiting one of the many pet stores that offer a selection of premium quality dog food and treats for Dogs. Consult your veterinarian for recommendations on the best puppy food. This ensures that your puppy transitions from puppy to adult dog food at the appropriate time.
