switching puppy to adult food

Hi there

Our 7 month old staffie-mix Pepper is curently on Barking heads puppy food, (with some occasional mackeral and raw eggs chucked in - not together mind)she is weighing a healthy 13kg, she is quite leggy and tall and pretty lean although starting to fill out a bit now and so not quite sure what her adult weight will be but wondering when do we make the switch over to adult food, was thinking of giving the Pero SBT a go.
we still feed her 3 times a day as well and wondering when we would switch down to 2.

any advice would be much appreciated.

Darcy stopped eating her lunchtime meal herself so you may notice when she is ready to drop down to two meals a day, I think at 7 months you'll be fine to drop it down, Probabley about 12 months you could change her to adult kibble here is a list of dried foods to look through :- http://staffy-bull-terrier.com/dry_food hope this helps.

I'd change her to adult just now, I wouldn't have bothered about giving puppy food full stop! She should be on 2 feeds from 6months. I rate Eden dry food, although my two SBT's are raw fed!

thanks for the quick replies...will take those comments on board and maybe start to wean her once the Barking Heads runs out..I have about another 3 weeks worth to get through so she won't be far off 8 months then.

Good topic as i was wondering when to switch over from puppy to adult. Jensons 6mths and gets fed 2x day by his own choice ... he just stopped eating his lunch time one even his breakfast hes not that bothered with prefering his main evening meal ... I think they just stop themselves.

been recommended http://uk.edenpetfoods.com/ so have purchased some samples of that to see how she gets on with it

As suggested above, some people do not even use puppy food, however a vet will usually suggest a good puppy food through the first year.

Is there a recommendation on the food you use for when to change to the adult? A lot suggest 12 months, however some foods are for all life stages so may be suitable from puppydom through to adulthood

I moved from Wainwrights puppy for Tommy at around 6 months when we moved them both onto Fish 4 Dogs (Tilly was on Wainwrights adult ) as they were constantly stealing each others food anyway . Have to say noticed zero difference and Tommy's Breeder thinks he is a fine specimen and always comments (anyway that's just my vanity )
We moved off Fish 4 Dogs after about 3 months and now they both have Wainwrights adult , again no problems.
Tommy has been on 2 meals since just before 6 months , again no problems and just fitted in with his eating habits . At the moment tempted to move to 1 feed a day but resisting until this weather cools down a bit as they are not eating well at the moment anyway as it is so bloody warm all the time
Hope this helps but I'm no expert
