Donating YT 10K Club Member | I knew what you meant...if you're clarifying it for me. Any time is fine. Small breed puppies don't really need all the protein found in puppy food.

| Sometime between 8-12 months is probably average. I am not sure what food you are feeding but with Wellness the guaranteed analysis between the puppy formula and the Small Breed Adult is very very close so it is not much of a switch. The most important thing is that you are feeding them a quality food.

| Wellness seems to have a lot to choose from. Any recommendations? |

| The small breed adult would be my favorite, it is designed more for thier needs and it is the smallest pieces. If that is not available I would go with the puppy formula, because it has 28% protein the same as the small breed formula. All the formulas are good, the main difference is that the Super 5 mixes have 22% protein instead of 28%. And the do not have the microorganisms that are suppose to help with digestion. Currently we have a 11 month old yorkie and a almost 16 week old yorkie who eat either the puppy or the small breed adult. We have a hunting dog who eats the Super 5 mixes.
