Quick answer
Feed your medium breed puppy (10-30 kg expected adult weight) Calibra Life Junior Medium Breed Chicken from 3 to 15 months of age, following the portion guidelines on the package and transitioning gradually over 7 days.
Why this food works for medium breed puppies
Medium breed puppies grow at a different rate than small or large breeds. Their bones and joints need controlled growth to avoid developmental issues. Calibra Life Junior Medium Breed Chicken is formulated with 85% animal protein to support steady muscle development without overloading the system.
The recipe includes salmon oil for skin and coat health, plus prebiotics and beta-glucans to support digestive health and immune development during the vulnerable puppy stage. It is also hypoallergenic and free from wheat, making it a good choice for puppies with sensitive stomachs.
When to switch from puppy to adult food
Calibra Life Junior Medium Breed Chicken is designed for puppies aged 3 to 15 months. Once your dog reaches 15 months, transition to an adult maintenance formula. Medium breeds typically reach full size around 12-18 months, but 15 months is a safe benchmark for switching to adult food.
If your puppy is a giant breed (expected adult weight over 30 kg) or a small breed (under 10 kg), this food is not suitable. Choose a size-specific junior formula instead.
Feeding decision rules
- Daily portion size: Start with the feeding guide on the package. Adjust based on your puppy's body condition (ribs easily felt but not visible) and activity level. Divide the daily amount into 3-4 meals for puppies under 6 months, then 2-3 meals from 6-15 months.
- Transition from old food: Over 7 days, gradually increase the proportion of Calibra Life Junior while decreasing the old food. Day 1-2: 25% new / 75% old. Day 3-4: 50% / 50%. Day 5-6: 75% / 25%. Day 7: 100% new food. Monitor stool consistency during transition. If loose, slow down the change.
- When to switch to adult food: At 15 months of age, begin transitioning to an adult maintenance formula using the same 7-day method. Do not continue junior food beyond 18 months as the higher protein and calorie density may lead to excess weight. Mark your calendar for the 15-month switch. Medium breeds that are slow to mature may need adult food at 18 months at the latest.
