We'd hope that the information panel of your puppy food might indicate the appropriate time to make the transition, but, in any case, you're wise to turn to the Web for an independent answer. We chased down the information for you... We decided to sniff around Yahoo! Pets and, at first, it looked like we'd hit paydirt. We'd navigated through the Dog section to a page specifically devoted to Puppies, but after reading the listed articles, we weren't any closer to having an answer. Undaunted, we decided to press on to the provider of the accumulated puppy information, PetEducation.com. Once there,
we spotted a special section on Puppies and, beneath it, a set of links about Puppy Nutrition. There, among the twenty articles listed, we clicked on "Feeding Puppies: What, When, How." According to Doctors Smith and Foster, the proprietors of PetEducation.com, "your puppy should only receive puppy food for the first year." The doctors go on to describe the difference between puppy food and regular dog chow. Puppy food is higher in protein and enriched with soluable vitamins, minerals, and other essentials. So it looks like your four-legged friend has two more months of the yummy stuff, then it's time to graduate to an adult diet. Mmmmmm,
bones....
