At this age Goofy is old enough to be on regular puppy food only. However, it may take him some time to transition from the cerelac to the kibble. I would recommend offering Goofy a mixture of both foods together for a few days. Once he is used to eating that, slowly start decreasing the amount of cerelac you are adding to the food. Doing the transition slowly will help him get used to the new food. Some other brands to try that are high quality food include Hills, Purina, Royal Canin, Eukanuba, and Iams. I hope this helps.
