Pembroke & Cardigan Welsh Corgi - View Single Post - When Should You Switch Your Puppy TO Adult Food?

Merrie - I had a good chat with a leading Mastiff (English) breeder in New Zealand with a great reputation and who only recently sent three Mastiff puppies to new owners in the USA. This breeder also runs boarding kennels.
She says that normally she would feed a Mastiff (English) adult food from aged 2 years, puppy food up to age 12 months and junior food inbetween. She buys Royal Canin (for her Mastiffs and for the boarders at her kennels) which has a junior feed stage among its products. She says if jumior food is not available through using other products, she would probably compromise between puppy and adult ie 16 - 18 months before switching over. So I don't think vets I have spoken to nor the product manufacturers of leading international brands are out of kilter at all.
