At what age should a dog be changed from puppy food to adult food?

A puppy is generally considered an adult when they stop growing taller. Typically for small breeds this is between 9-12 months, medium breeds around 12 months and large breeds closer to 15 months.

Are there bigger bags of this food available?

The biggest bag of this formula we carry is the 31.1 pound bag.

Where is this puppy food made?

This is made in Purina's USA facilities.

My puppy has to poop about 15 minutes after eating. Is she getting any nourishment at all?

Every dog is different, and while some will poop right after eating, others may not go for about half an hour after consuming their meal. Both situations are normal.

Weaning Pups: Puppies start to nibble on solid foods at 3-4 weeks of age. Keep moistened Beneful Healthy Puppy (three parts kibble to one part water) available to puppies at all times until fully weaned (6-8 weeks of age).

Growing Pups: After weaning, Beneful Healthy Puppy can be fed moistened or dry at the same time every day â€“ very young puppies three times a day, older puppies twice a day. Use the feeding guidelines shown here, but remember individual needs can vary. Slight appetite changes and occasional digestive upsets are normal in puppies. If upsets become severe or linger longer than a day or two, contact your veterinarian.

Reproduction: Beneful Healthy Puppy provides the extra nutrition needed by reproducing females in stages of gestation and lactation. Food consumption may vary during gestation, so feed the amount needed to maintain the pregnant female's good body condition. Food intake may double or even quadruple during lactation.

Transition Instructions

When switching your dog to Beneful Healthy Puppy, please allow 7-10 days for the transition. Gradually add more Beneful Healthy Puppy and less of the previous food to your dog's dish each day until the changeover is complete. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets.
