When to switch 7-month corgi puppies to adult food for weight?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Male | neutered | 7 months and 19 days old | 28 lbs

When is a good time to start switching my 7 month old puppies over to adult food? I have corgis so I’m wanting to get them on a brand of food that helps manage their weight because as of now i feed them on can of blue buffalo wet food and one cup of blue buffalo dry food. My male is now 23 lbs and my female lost a pound so she’s back to 20lbs. I prefer to stick to blue buffalo and grain free, my corgi has an extremely sensitive GI tract let me tell you.

The best time to switch them over to adult food is between 10 and 12 months of age. If they seem to be getting too heavy, just cut back the amount of puppy food you are feeding currently. Blue Buffalo, in general, is very high in calories so if you stick with this brand they will likely get very little to eat in order to maintain a healthy weight.
