Is it okay for my 15-month-old large dog to finish puppy food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 75 lbs

Accidentally bought the large puppy version instead of the large breed dog food, would it be an issue if he finished the bag? He’s is 15 months.

Puppy food is higher in calories and has different quantities of fat, protein and certain vitamins and minerals than adult dog food. As long as Max is not overweight it should be okay for him to have puppy food as long as he doesn't develop diarrhea or other gastrointestinal upset.
