Puppies can be considered as adults once they reach one year. However, they are not completely done growing until the age of two. For a highly active, energetic dog it is fine to continue feeding the puppy amounts until the second year as long as they don’t appear overweight. If you feel his/her energy and appetite are becoming more steady they may be ready to have their puppy portions reduced to the adult feeding requirements in the near future. We often recommend that puppies are offered the higher feeding amount until they are at least 12 months so you may need to monitor them and watch their weight in the meantime.
