Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 80 lbs
My dog Cora is now a year and 2 months old, and I want to switch her food from puppy to adult. She is currently eating the Purina beneful healthy puppy food. She’s about 60 pounds and a German Shepherd mix. Do you have any food recommendations?

Purina is the best of the supermarket brands of food, so I'd recommend that. Other brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I feed my dogs Iams, and they love it. When you make the switch, do it slowly over 7-10 days to avoid GI upset. Mix the two foods together, and over this time period, slowly increase the amount of adult food and decrease the amount of puppy food until Cora is eating the puppy food only.
