  • Most puppies transition to adult dog food between 12 and 18 months, although timing depends on breed size and development. Large breed puppies usually need longer on a puppy diet because their bones and joints develop over a longer period.

    We cover this in more detail in What Makes Large Breed Puppy Food Different to Regular Puppy Food and The Ultimate Guide to Raising a Healthy Puppy.
