He would be OK on the adult version of his dog food now. What are you feeding him ?

Well it's depending what food he's on?. But usually in 9 months he can have the adult version just change it over time.

Thanks all for the reply he is only on two meals a day pedigree chum puppy and pedigree chum small bite mixer which he loves but my problem is he keeps being sick sometimes its just clear liquid. other times he brings up his meal after he has eaten grass took him to the vets they said that the food he is on is too rich for his stomach and told us to try chappie but thats only in an adult dog surely

I agree I would get him on a better quality food - and there is no need for 3 meals a day at 10 months - two will be plenty Smile

Chappie and pedigree are both hideous. As you're already making a transition I'd get him on 2 meals a day of a new adult food. Wainwrights is a good affordable one that a lot of forum users dogs are doing well on!

I am on wainwrights at moment and my dog seems to have no complaints mixed in with few biscuits and sometimes tuna,bits of meat or crack a egg in they.
