Puppy food or adult food for presas?

[Diesel661]

When my fila brasilerio was a pup everything I read online said to go straight to adult dog food and skip the puppy food.
I have a 12 week presa around 33lbs looking healthy to me. I have him on taste of the wild large breed puppy food.
Is it better for the presa to keep him on that or switch over to adult dog food like the filas?

I have mine on Orijen adult kibble, puppy blend is not necessary.

We have ours on Taste of the Wild Sierra Mountain (all stages) formula. It's working well for her, though she does smell a bit like mutton now ...

We also tried Blue Buffalo large breed puppy, but it made her stool too loose. She has also Simply Nourish salmon and sweet potato, which she loves, but I had already ordered TOTW so we went ahead and switched her over. We might go back to that one if the mutton odor doesn't abate.

Adult food it's better. Best thing i's to check composition for the correct fosforus/calcium cuantities.

Puppy food can have too high calcium and phosphorous. Feed the pup adult or all stage dog food.

At what age is the calcium/phos not such a concern?

All of their life. IMO, I believe you can back off of the ratios after they hit 5-6 years of age.
