Frequently Asked Questions about Dry Puppy Foods

Do puppies prefer dry or wet food?

Puppies tend to prefer wet food over dry food, but every puppy is different and yours may like kibble just as well or more. Dogs generally find wet food to be more palatable than kibble, due to what is often a higher meat content and an appetizing aroma.

What age can puppies eat dry food?

Puppies can eat dry food at between 4 to 6 weeks of age, although you may want to start by soaking your puppy's dry kibble to make it easier to eat and digest. Be sure to feed your puppy only dog foods formulated for puppies, as puppies need specific essential nutrients to grow and thrive.

How long should my dog eat dry puppy food?

Your dog should eat dry puppy food until he has reached the age of maturity and finished growing. For most medium size dog breeds, this occurs around roughly one year of age. Smaller breeds reach maturity a little earlier, at around 8 or so months of age. Large breed dogs may not fully mature until 18 months to 2 years, so you will probably want to keep feeding them dry puppy food for longer. Always consult your vet about the right time to transition your puppy to adult food, and be sure to make the transition gradually to allow your dog time to adjust.
