Eating habits
My dog is almost 6 months and like 40lbs. When should I stop puppy chow and feed him dog chow?
at about 8 months it would be ok to switch him over… depends on breed and size really… but when he stops getting taller and longer, he is pretty much done growing and won’t need the extra fat from the puppy chow.
Most of the dog foods have a guide on the bag for you to read and follow, I don’t switch my dogs over until they are one year old. I also feed Nutro. You need to pay attention to what is in the food you are feeding, As far as age and weight, hard to say if this is obess or not without knowing what breed or breeds the dog is.
If this dog is a large breed dog, I’d start getting him onto a lower protein food, now…to slow the growth rate…it just makes growing slower, it will not affect the overall size of the dog at maturity…
Before you decide to feed Purina, check out the list of dog foods…there are many on there that cost no more than Purina, but are far better, nutritionally…

Talk with your veterinarian and read package information, but, normally, puppy food is fed for the first 18 to 24 months.
