Hi Guest.
I'm assuming you have been feeding him up until now or that your breeder has given you information on what they have been feeding. At 5 months old I would be starting to break away from puppy food over onto a good adult brand. It is up to you what you decide to go along with but I worry about using a complete food dry with young puppies, preferring to feed it wet. I don't soak it but I put water on immediately before giving it. That way I can be sure that the puppy is getting some moisture with the food whilst at the same time the puppy is getting something hard to help clean it's teeth.
I would be continuing with the original food for about a month but would be feeding gradually less of the puppy food but mixing gradually increasing proportions of the new food to it.
Best wishes, John
