My Coalie is 5 1/2 months and eats Solid Gold Hundchen Flocken Puppy - 4 cups a day. At what age should she start on the adult food? Should she be on WolfCub Puppy instead? Thanks in advance

Everyone is going to tell you that it's okay to feed adult food from puppyhood as long as you are feeding a 'good' food... like Solid Gold!

We fed Luna Solid Gold but she had tummy issues so she's on Canidae All Life Stages, and she's been eating it since she was less than 4 months old. As of our last vet visit (last week!) she's was deemed strong and healthy by our vet!

I'd switch to adult food tomorrow. Or as soon as you run out of that bag.

Luna knows what's up. Laughing

Coalie is one beautiful blue pup. I am not a big fan of puppy food. You can switch at any time.

why is puppy food so bad?

I was advised by our breeder to keep our pup on it until he's at least 12 months old

Sterling started to get a little fat, so we switched her when she was six months old. It was too many calories for her
