Some vets recommend around 8-10 months switching them over to adult food. So, what you and your vet decide is the right time to switch her to an adult food I would then purchase the one you want her to be on and take 7-10 days to switch her over to it slowly.
I have 6 month old puppies and I would not change their food until they are ready to go on adult food and then I will do it and put them on a better quality than what they are on (what they were on when I got them).
Good luck! |
I agree about keeping baby on what she is used to and eating well, until she is 8-10 months old....I always just told my people to keep the pup on RC until a year old....then I always encouraged them to stay with RC, but if they wanted to get onto that merry-go-round of going thru dozens of dog foods, after a year old, trying this, trying that, then they could do so safely.....Switch gradually so their system tolerates the change in formula.....there are more pups messed up when owners jump onto this switching and swapping dog foods, then pup goes off everything and the games begin! More harm is done during this time with this event, than if they had been left on what they were getting initially!
