when to switch to adult, and why?

[Lego&Jacub]

Our puppy has been on Innova Large Breed Puppy since we got her. She's 5 months old now. We are about to buy our third bag of food, and I'm wondering if we should switch to "adult" now or wait until she's a year.

Can anyone advise me about this, and the "why" of either switching now or waiting?

Thanks,
Sandra

Thanks for the help John!!

From what I've read on here, the change from puppy to adult formula also needs to be made gradually. So we've bought one more bag of LBP food, and the next one will be adult... which we will transition to.
