Bouncer is now 7 months & 8 days old. I recently noticed that he has been off his puppy food not gobling it up like he used to & sometimes not even touching it at all. I didnt notice any other behavioral changes so wasnt to worried about him being ill, it seemed more that he had grown out of the puppy food. On thursday I took the plunge & bought a big bag of adult food for him. I decided to be a bit cautious & gave him his first meal half puppy foood mixed with half adult food. He went beserk & hooverd up the adult food in seconds, but HE LEFT ALL OF THE PUPPY FOOD in his bowl. How he managed that I have no idea. I tried mixing it a few more times but always the same result, Adult food dematerialised, Puppy food left alone. I have now taken the plunge & gave him his first 100% adult food breakfast. Which dissapeared imidiatly. I am back to poo monitoring to see if it upsets his tum. I think he will be fine as he seems to be able to eat anything with no ill effects. :
Re: Changing to Adult Food. Fingers crossed his tummy is ok. Some dogs will be fine with a quick changeover of food, hopefully Bouncer is one of those
Re: Changing to Adult Food. They are truly funny creatures [quote author=chrism link=topic=10042.msg146781#msg146781 date=1425223676] Is that the age when change over should be made ? just curious. [/quote] I think it depends on the food. Some keep the same "puppy/junior" food up to 18 months but a lot are around a year. It shoud say on the packet I think. Or check out the brand website.
Re: Changing to Adult Food. So far so good, no deli belly, but as has been stated by myself before I seem to have a dog that can litraly eat anything & be ok.
Re: Changing to Adult Food. Still all ok, I think Bouncer is one of those dogs with an iron constitution.
