Do puppies stay on puppy food for one year????Sophie is 8 months so another 4 months???

Yes my understanding is that puppies stay on puppy food until they are a year old.

Majority of puppy foods will give the range 8 mos to 1 year for the transition to adult....I always try to just round it up to 1 year old....I want to be sure all that extra stuff puppies get from quality puppy food for brain development, bones, organs, etc, are provided. And 1 year old is for me easy to remember!!!!
