Hello all, I have another question for you.... When are you supposed to change puppy food into adult food? I'm currently feeding orijen puppy food.. 1/3 cup a day..
The breeder I got kupo from was asking me how much kupo weighed.. when I told her 5lbs, (he's currently 5 months old, with 5-6 lbs weight expectancy based on his parents) she told me that I should change the food to adult food at 6 months and start watching his weight..
When I've contacted my vet, she was saying that Kupo is very healthy, and def. not fat, but she think he's nearing the end of his growth spurt, since he grew a lot in a short period of time.. but she recommended me to change his food at 1 year.. And that breeder just wanted the yorkie small..
I've contacted Orijen, and here is what they are telling me:
"The basic idea is that you feed a puppy formula until they reach their expected adult weight. If your puppy is at his expected adult weight you can switch to an adult formula, usually whichever flavour they prefer. The one most similar to the Puppy formula is our Adult, they are both chicken based diets."
So.. they are recommending me to change to adult food soon too as my breeder did.
I'm looking into Orijen Adult food.. either six fish or the adult regional red.. and they do have recommended amount for puppies

What do you think? I do see that most yorkie people do change their puppy food to adult anytime between 8 months to a year, but I do see that some fed puppies adult food from the start..
