| How old is your baby. I believe it's around 10 months when you switch from puppy to adult. |

| I was wondering the same thing. Wembley is 10 months are we are running low on puppy food, and I wasn't sure if I should buy more puppy food, or buy adult food and then wean her off with the rest of the puppy food. My heart isn't ready for her to move to adult food :-( |

| When Gracie was spayed the vet told me that she could go on an adult food at about 7-8 months. Some vets will have you change them after they are fixed...its really a matter of preference and depends on the vet you go to. If you are not neutering or spaying your pup then I would say 10 months.

| Interesting. Stewie is 6 months. I am planning to switch him when I run out of puppy food. I have about 20lbs left right now. He's getting fixed next week.
