| When to switch to adult food... I just switched Ella to adult artemis instead of puppy when she turned a year old. Is this too early? I have heard many different things, and I'm confused... |

| If you're having the dog spayed or neutered, I'd switch to adult food soon after the procedure. There are changes to a dog's metabolism that happen when they are altered, and they typically don't require as much fat as is found in puppy formulas.
