When your vet tells you to.

we waited until a year, but ive heard 8-12 months.

[laceybaby]

I always hear that a year is the switching point. Whenever you do it, make sure to do a slow transition to the new food.

Yeah my vet also recommended Hill's sience plan Dry kibble that was crap also, way to many fibers !

So i should be waiting at least another 6 months ......

Well, Orijen "Large Breed" isn't even close to meeting the requirements of a large breed puppy food, but thats another topic within itself...

Your pup looks great, and I usually recommend 8-12 months for medium breed dogs. The larger the dog, the longer they take to reach maturity and the longer they should be on puppy food. The larger the dog, the more important to minimize calcium and fat content in the food also for slow and appropriate growth rates.

If you start to have trouble keeping his weight at appropriate levels (slim waistline, want to see the last rib and feel all ribs easily) then switch to adult food to decrease the calories in his food. Otherwise you can keep him on puppy food as long as you want

Orijen pup large breed ,yeah i know its the only one they have here .but i had a fight with myself about the right nutrition for him ! he told me that ,she told me this ,and they told me everything !

First i was giving him Hills sience plan ,but the grains made em itch like he had some bugs .

Then i gave him a raw diet for a week or 2 but i could see the transformation like THAT ! so my councience was telling me that i had to be carefull for the fast growth of the joints ,so after a research of espacially (us) sites i had to make a choiche between Pro Plan,Eukanuba,Taste of the wild ,Royal Canin and here in holland its quite a hazell to get some proper food .

But i dont think i made a bad choice on this matter i give him a bit less and monday to thursday orijen friday to sunday i give him fresh raw meat .

Going to be big you think? ,he dont look that big .

Like you dog to on the avatar love the chocolate colour !

This is off topic sorries- Pitties are not considered large breeds? Just wondering honestly, I have only ever owned little ankle biters. My bostons most call a small breed and I consider them medium?

This I am wondering because my dog is on Simply Nutritious large breed puppy.

He is on the larger side. Dottie will be 2, and tops out at 33-35 pounds.

Yeah, they should be a medium sized and moderately built dog, 35-60 lbs. With the fads, BYBs are happy to change the breed to make $$, whether bigger size or short legs or low-set heads with short necks or certain colors. My dog is about 68 lbs, for example, and is a rescue from the shelter so obviously his breeder was not great.

Anyway, back on topic, some puppy foods actually have the same fat, calories, and protein as some brands of high-grade adult dog kibble. You need to read the labels.

If those were the foods I had to choose from (and I was not willing to feed raw) I would use the TOTW. Though I now feed raw, I raised several pups on TOTW and they all developed beautifully. Some of the TOW formulas meet the requirements to be All Life Stages, which means they work well for pups. IMO the best of the choices you mentioned. Pit Bulls are not large breed dogs, and do not need to be on a lg breed formula.
