| When to switch from puppy food? The vet has told me to switch my yorkie to adult dog food when he turns a year old. I was just wondering what you guys have done with your yorkies as far as switching goes..?

| I started mixing it 50/50 at about 10.5 months old. They went on regular adult food at about 13 months or so. |

| I switched them at about 11 months old because they wouldn't eat their puppy food anymore. |

| When Sophie turned 1 year I started mixing her puppy food with adult food giving her less and less puppy kibble everyday. In a few days she was completely on her small breed adult kibble.

Donating YT Addict | with Bee I mixed her puppy food with "adult small breed" food at 11 months, so by a year she was eating all "adult small breed" food.

| I think I started mixing Lily's around 9 months. I would've gone longer but Tristan kept eating it and getting fat so I needed to get rid of it.

| My Beya is 7mths and I took her off puppy food. I give her 1/2 a cup and an cooked egg 2times a day, along with her snacks. She is doing good on her diet and if she looks like she needs alittle more I'll giver her some,but she never needs more.
