The Church During Slavery. For our purposes, the account begins in the decades after the American Revolution, as Northern states gradually began to abolish slavery. As a result, sharper differences emerged between the experiences of enslaved peoples in the South and those Northerners who were now relatively free.
In large breed dogs, this very commonly leads to pano, a painful condition that shows up usually between 5 and 12 months of age. Large breed dogs who are fed puppy chow show a much higher rate of pano than dogs who are fed adult food from the beginning. I would make the switch to adult food immediately.
Maturation. Changing from puppy food to adult food depends on the size of your dog as an adult. If he is a small breed and will not exceed 30 pounds, he is mature at 10 to 12 months old. Some small breeds are mature before 10 months of age. Medium breeds are dogs that do not exceed 80 pounds at full growth.
