I would check your breed or call your Vet's office, some breeds are on puppy chow longer then others. Boxer stay on puppy chow longer then other dogs

I've always had GSD's and they are pulled off puppy food very early due to growing too fast...

I'd think a Terrier would be fine to change over to maintence food by 8 months...

Hi there,

At my shelter we keep the dogs on Puppy Chow until 1 year, then we switch to Dog Chow. A large reason for the puppy chow is to help them gain weight, since it is higher in fat. If the pup is a healthy weight, you'll probably be able to change it safely within a month.
