I think it's probably best to check with your vet. Bridget is 7 months old has put on a little more weight than my vet would like to see. She suggested after I finish this bag (new 6lb bag which will probably last a while) I start to switch her to adult as she doesn't feel Bridget needs the extra calories. I always thought they needed to be on puppy food for a year...that's how much I know.

what are your adults eating? is it an all life stages food?

They are eating wellness!

wellness isn't all life stages i believe so i'd ask your vet if its ok to switch her at 7 months. it might be too early

I have a picky eater also. So, I bought "gravy" to put just a bit on the food to encourage one of my "babies" to eat. This "gravy" was suggested to me and is found at the local pet stores.

If in doubt about anything, ALWAYS ask your vet for advice.
