When to change from puppy food to adult food?

[Mince Pie]

My JRT is now 6 1/2 months old and is now coming to the end of his current bag of puppy food. There are 2 adult dogs in the house who are both on Dr John's silver - a 2 year old border terrier x Patterdale, and an 8 year old Welsh sheepdog. Would it be ok for me to wean the pup on to the Dr John's as I believe at nearly 7 months he is now fully grown? If not when would be the best time to do it?

Many thanks.

not sure that nearly 7 months is full grown even though he is a small breed...personally I would keep him on puppy food for a bit longer, maybe another 3 months....have never heard of dr johns silver so don't know if that would be suitable...

I tend to move onto Junior food from 8 to 18 months old before moving to adult. Don't think your dog is anywhere near fully grown at 7 months. I have never had small breeds however.

I know, that's the bit that's confusing me as my other dog is a med - large breed.

Daisy is just 1, and a small breed. I've just moved her on to adult food.

We moved at 18 months for the first and 13 months for the second.

Generally, I'd start the change over, gradually, when they've shot their puppy teeth, and have a full mouth of adult teeth. Perhaps at about 6 months onwards.
