Petey is now 8 months old; when can I switch him from puppy food to adult?
He is eating Solid Gold puppy kibble right now, and I have a bag of Nutro Ultra puppy kibble to wean him onto next. The Solid Gold is way too hard to find out here in the boonies, and Petsmart carries the Nutro, so I thought I'd try a switch. He will eat ANYTHING, so the main food issue is his sensitive skin. He gets itchy and flaky on some foods, so that's what I have to watch for.
He is right at 10 lbs now, and I think he's probably finished growing except maybe for muscling up some more. He's getting those massive (compared to the rest of his little weenie body) dachsie shoulders and chest; last night he was strutting about the living room with half a bully stick hanging out of his mouth looking like Winston Churchill chewing on a stogie :duh:
