By 9 months old, most dogs are well on their way to reaching their adult size.

Which means it’s time to make the switch to adult food! Adult food allows puppies to benefit from optimal levels of ingredients and nutrients that they need in their daily lives. If your puppy is not yet fully grown, they will still continue to grow on the adult food.

We recommend taking 10-14 days to switch your puppy from Burns puppy food to adult food.

Use the guide below to gradually increase the portions of adult food until your puppy has made the full switch to adult food. To avoid upsetting your puppy’s tummy, we recommend making the change from puppy to adult food over 10-14 days.
