At What Age Do You Switch Dogs to Adult Food? Dog's Age. Many people consider a puppy an adult at approximately 12 months of age. Unfortunately, though, most breeds don't fall into a cut-and-dry pattern. Small breeds tend to mature physically around 8 months of age, medium-sized breeds around 12-14 months and large breeds around 18 months to 2 years. Extra-large breeds can continue growing well through their second year. When you determine it's time to make the switch, do so very gradually.

No, a 'dog year' isn't equivalent to 7 human years No, a 'dog year' isn't equivalent to 7 human years. Dogs age at different rates compared to humans, but the simple rule of 7 dog years to 1 human year is far from accurate. If humans aged seven times slower than dogs, then many of us would be able to reproduce at age 7 and live to be 150. Obviously that's not the case.

What age should a dog be given senior dog food? Smaller breeds mature faster, but age more slowly after reaching maturity. A small dog (such as a toy poodle, terrier, chihuahua, etc.) isn't considered geriatric until much later than a larger breed-maybe 10 to 12 years old, and the largest breeds are senior citizens at 5 or 6 years of age. Most vets, though, consider a dog 7 or 8 years or older to be a senior citizen.
