A puppy will go through many physical changes as he grows into an adult dog and even as he matures into a senior. Accompanying these life stage changes are varying nutritional requirements as well.
Nutrition For Puppies (birth-1 year)
Puppies require extra nutrition and calories for their rapid growth and high energy level. At six months, your puppy will closely resemble an adult in size but should continue eating puppy food until he reaches "adult" status, which can be up to two years for some large breeds.
Nutrition For Adult Dogs (1-6 years)
From the age of one year to approximately six years, dogs are considered to be "adults." Adult dogs require a complete and balanced diet to maintain good health, but in a lower caloric form than puppy food.
