Purina Puppy Chow puppy food is easy to find at most supermarkets, mass merchandise stores, big box stores, pet specialty stores and online retailers.  

Even though some puppies may look fully grown at six months, they’re still growing on the inside. A good rule of thumb is this: small and medium breeds reach adulthood in about 12 months and large breeds take up to 24 months. Until then, keep feeding Purina Puppy Chow. You can learn more here.
