Switching Food NEW
by: Golden Retriever Magic

Hi Elizabeth,

Thanks so much for writing to us.

I think that while keeping your puppy on a large breed puppy formula was a great idea, she should now be switched to a regular adult dog food, rather than a large dog breed adult formula.

My reasoning is as follows -- the purpose of the large breed puppy formula is to prevent the puppy from growing too fast and damaging the puppy. However, once fully grown, Goldens, while being a good size, are not really extremely large dogs (such as Great Danes, Mastiffs, St. Bernards etc.), and do not share some of the health issues that these large dogs have through life. As such, regular high quality adult dog food is a good choice for Goldens.

Please click the Nav Bar button entitled "Dog Food Basics" to read more details about when and how to switch puppies to adult food.

Enjoy your 8 month old puppy -- what a great age!
