Topic Dog Boards / Feeding / Should i now change over to Adult??
- By Blues mum Date 13.04.06 14:38 UTC
Hi peeps,

Now that Blues 12 months, should i still keep him on puppy food or should i put him over to Adult?

Ive got him on Aurtarky (hope i spelt that right lol) and going by the pack it doesnt mention changing to Adult at 12-24 months :confused:

When he was on Beta (i changed to Aurtarky a few months ago) the pack then said to change to Adult at about 12-18 months *i think*

Its just theres more flavour variety on the Adult food and the packs come in 15kg where as puppy only 10kg!

I remember my breeder said she changed her Danes onto Adult at around 10-12 months, just after a bit of advice really as i know this is a different kind of food :)

By the way, i dont mind keeping him on puppy if he shouldnt go over to Adult yet :)

If you feel your pup should still be getting puppy food until around the 18 month mark you could mix half puppy food and half adult food :cool:  This would give him the flavours of the adult food but still the nutritional value of the puppy food :D  I feed our 10 month old girl half puppy food & half junior food and will do this until she's 12 months old.  Then I'll wean her onto half junior and half adult.  I plan to keep her on that mix until she's around 16-18 months old when she'll be weaned totally onto adult as thats what I feel will be best for our pup :)  Whatever you decide to do gradually wean him over a period of 10-14 days (which I'm sure you'll be aware of already as you've changed foods before) :)
