Who is it for?
This food is built for puppies of large and giant breeds — think Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and similar — expected to weigh more than 70 lbs as adults. If you've just brought home a puppy (or are researching dog puppy for sale near me listings and dog puppy classes near me), this is a nutrition option worth considering from day one of solid food.
Choose the 13.2 lb bag for smaller households or to trial the recipe, or the 25 lb bag for longer-term feeding through the fast-growth months.
How do you feed it?
Transition over 7–10 days by gradually mixing increasing amounts of Orijen with your puppy's current food. Follow the feeding guide on the bag based on your puppy's current weight and expected adult weight, and always keep fresh water available.
Weigh portions rather than scooping by eye — large-breed puppies benefit from consistent, measured meals split across 3 feedings a day until around 6 months, then 2 feedings thereafter.
