Feed him puppy food for at least a year. He needs the extra ingredients to grow and develop properly.

It depends on the breed. My vet recommends larger breeds switch over around 6 months. You can wait longer the smaller the breed. Adult food will slow down the growth and therefore protect joints. Is there a reason you would like to use canned food? Dry food is better for their teeth and in my opinion much easier!

His stomach doesn't seem to agree with dry food

Anywhere from 9-12 months in my opinion. Talk to your vet, finding a vet you trust will always help making decisions for your pup easier. Congratulations are your new friend!
