Orijen puppy to Orijen adult...and a 1 year birthday party

Hello all!

Well, I can't believe Hadley will be a year old next week...it has flown by!!! She is the sweetest little soul and we all love her so much that we can't imagine being without her.

Anyhow, I figured it's time to switch her to adult food and I was reading threads and then realized, I better just ask my specific questions.

1) Do I need to blend puppy and adult food in the trasition if Im sticking with Orijen? (I just realized that Im down to a few days of food.. I typically bag her food and put in the back of the freezer but I lost track of how much I had left...ugh)

2) Once I make the switch, how much should I feed her of the adult formula? She is a medium ALD and weights 40 lbs which is supposed to be her max.) @Karen--you kindly gave me the proper food amounts last time because the Orijen rep had told me to feed larger quantities. Frankly, she doesn't always finish her food. (1 cup twice a day). I've not worried about it since she is at a good weight and is healthy.

3) Lastly, the kids and Grandma (haha) want to give her a birthday party with cake, party hats and all. Any recommendations for a healthy puppy cake.? I do not want to create any digestive issues for the love of one day. Perhaps a recipe, or a brand, etc. There is a local doggie bakery that makes cakes but they have grain. Will it liklely bother her tummy since she's on a grain-free food? With that, I do give her itty bitty cookies as treats that do have grain. She's has no issue with them.

Thanks for all your help in advance.

Tanya
