    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!

    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!
