Switching from puppy food to adult

[Avantia]

Our lab is just over 11 months and we are coming to the end of her 'junior' food. Have got the adult version of her food . As she is 'older' do we still have to be very careful and gradual in changing the food or as she is older can it be a quicker process ?

We are partway through changing. I waited until we had about 1 week's puppy food left then started feeding half and half. I reckoned if he had any adverse reaction within a couple of days it gave me enough puppy food to last me until I could buy something else to try. We have been doing this for about a week. I intend to increase the proportion of adult to puppy food over the next few days and finish off the rest of the puppy food.

I decided that the adult version has very similar ingredients but in different proportions, so probably wouldn't cause a problem, but I wanted to be on the safe side. The main difference is the size of the kibble - he has to chew it now - he can't just inhale it!

Thanks Purplefrog - yes have also started doing half and half - seems Ok she 'woofs' it down !

Yes do half and half now and increase the amount of adult food in the mix over a week or so. It's probably being quite cautious but it will reduce the chance of upset stomach. (you don't have a Labrador do you purplefrog - the comment about inhaling food seems strangely familiar)

How did you guess?
