My 7-month Blue Heeler puppy is overweight. What food for growth?

Question

My 7 month old Blue heeler has been on the Science diet puppy food since she was 1 month old. I was feeding her exactly how the bag told me too. I cut the amount in half because she was overweight. She currently weighs 33lbs and is a moderately active puppy. Is there a food that you could recommend for her weight and puppy growth?

She’s adorable! She’s old enough to switch to Science Diet adult food. It generally has less carories than puppy food and will slow down her growth and prevent her from getting fat. She will still reach her normal adult size, it may just take a little longer. I love science diet so stay on that food. When she’s fully grown if she becomes overweight then I would switch to reduced calorie Science diet dry. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Biscuit.
