When To Switch Your Pet's Food


Feeding your dog right requires that you give him appropriate nutritional intake during the right stages in his life. When they’re still puppies or kittens you can switch to adult pet food as soon they’re between 9 months to 1 year of age. However, there are certain caveats. There are canine breeds that need to be maintained on a growth formula for longer periods. When deciding to switch from adult pet formulas to special senor pet diets, the 7-year mark is usually a rule of thumb. 

Understand that switching foods requires timing as this will contribute to your pet’s health. During different stages in your pet’s life, he’s going to be needing different levels of nutrition. Not switching foods can lead to problems in your pet’s weight management. Lifestage-appropriate feed will provide your pet with the right nutritional intake during different stages of his life.

For more information about your pet’s nutritional needs, ask your local animal clinic Ashburn, VA.
