When to Switch?

Gadget is 10 months old, about 60 lbs, I was wondering when to switch him from puppy food to Adult food. Right now I am using Nutro Natural Choice, and suggestions for adult food?

We switched Lacy to adult food at about 8 months. The breeder told us after one bag of puppy food to switch her to adult, but we kept her on it longer just because it seemed like we should. Lacy is on a prescription food, but my neighbor's Lab eats Nutro and she raves about it. We are trying to get Lacy back to regular food and are having luck with Regal. I'm not sure if Regal is available everywhere, or just here in the Nation's capital!

I posted the same question in the Boxer Ring on 5/12. I also have another post under feeding which has to do with type of food. Check out all the helpful replies I got.

Otto was on Nutro large breed puppy until around 1 year and then we switched to Nutro large breed adult. We started to make the switch and he didn't seem to tolerate it (see my post)so we immediately stopped and went back to his puppy food for a few weeks.

We just started to introduce Nutro Lamb and Rice as recommended by another member. So far so good.
