Otto is 10months right now and weighs about 75lbs. When is he not a puppy anymore? Right now, I'm feeding him Innova Large Breed Puppy food, so I want to know when I can take him off that. :]
Feeding large breed puppy food is NOT like feeding puppy food. The opposite is true. In fact, to switch from large breed puppy to adult food early is possibly going in the opposite direction desired. The "stay away from puppy food" advice does not apply to large breed puppy food.
Growth plates close at varying rates. An xray is the only way to tell when they have closed and growing has stopped. I have no problem going past 12 months on a large breed puppy food.
