| Sydney's vet said at 6 months, to switch from puppy food to adult food because of the fat content in puppy food. She said that even if the puppy food says good for up to a year to still make the gradual switch. Syd will be 6-months-young on Sunday. I've already switched her from Diamonds puppy food to Evo dry. Since she's losing baby teeth, I add a bit of warm water to the kibble so it's a bit softer for her to chew. She seems to like it. |

| Our vet says to wait until one year, but Tootsie is 8 months old now and I've noticed since switching to Orijen puppy that she feels much heavier when picking her up???

| It really depends on the type of food you are feeding. Many people feed an all stages of life dog food so it is not necessary to switch. Sometimes I keep all my adults on puppy food and at times I will mix puppy food and adult food together. I have never used an adult or puppy food that is more than 28% protein and all my dogs do very well. |
