    Hi there,

    This is one of those questions where six different experts will give you six different answers. Some will say switch at six months, others will say switch at 18 months. Many will say one year. Most agree that there is no need to continue with puppy food once your dog has reached her adult height. For Labs this is usually somewhere between 12 and 15 months.

    As your dog is still quite small, she may have a bit more growing to do, so you might want to keep her on puppy food for a little longer. But there is no strict rule. Sorry not to be more specific, hope that helps a bit.

    Pippa
