WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUPPY AND JUNIOR FOOD? Puppy and junior food are both formulated for growing dogs. All puppies once weaned at around 6-7 weeks should be fed on James Wellbeloved puppy food. Depending on the adult size of the dog your puppy may benefit from being fed a junior food designed as a follow on food or medium and large breed dogs. It's all to do with the age at which dogs mature. For example small dogs will be mature at 6 months and can gradually move onto their own small breed adult food then; whilst large dogs will continue to grow well into their second year and will benefit from being fed a large breed junior food. Check out our feeding guides for more details. HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY PUPPY IS A 'GROWN UP' DOG? The age of maturity for dogs is related to their adult size.
