<p class="MsoNormal"><span id="more-237"></span>This depends on the breed of dog you have and how large the breed of. Knowing when is a puppy full grown exactly is almost impossible to tell, but as a general guideline:</p>
<ul>
<li><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Most dogs of a small and average size are fully grown between 1 and 1.5 years, although the time varies for individual dogs</li>
<li><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span></span></span>Larger dogs may continue to grow for longer, up to two years in some cases. Again this depends not only on breed but on the individual dog itself.</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Remember that although a puppy may stop growing, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is at its most mentally mature stage.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are wondering when you should switch from puppy to adult food, it is usually at around the one year mark although you for bigger dogs you might want to wait a bit longer. Your vet will be able to advise you on when to switch for your specific breed of dog, which makes all the difference.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Knowing when is a puppy fully grown is not an exact science, and there are many factors involved. Don’t worry too much about the exact time they are fully grown, just the general age when they require a change in diet.</p>
