i believe the cut off is 1 year. once they turn 1 year, they're considered an adult.
there are foods that's suitable for all life stages tho if you're concerned about that. but in general, you'll want to start switching from puppy food to adult food at one year because the calories and protein levels of puppy food is much higher than adult food. feeding your adult dog puppy food can lead to obesity. so i'd say finish off whatever puppy food you have now and start buying adult stuff.
