Orijen - Puppy Large Breed Dry Dog Food
Description
TL;DR: Orijen Puppy Large Breed Dry Dog Food is a biologically appropriate kibble made with 85% animal ingredients from chicken, turkey, and fish, formulated for puppies expected to mature over 70 lbs. Controlled calcium and phosphorus levels support steady skeletal growth through the fast-growth months. Available in 13.2 lb and 25 lb bags.
Large-breed puppies put on size quickly, and their bones and joints need time to keep pace. This recipe is built around controlled growth rather than maximum calories, so a big puppy develops lean muscle and a strong frame without the stress of overly rapid weight gain.
It's a practical everyday choice for active GTA households raising a large dog through the demanding first year.

Who is it for?
This Orijen puppy food is built for large and giant breeds — Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dogs — expected to weigh more than 70 lbs as adults. It suits puppies from their first weeks on solid food through the rapid-growth stage.
Take the 13.2 lb bag if you're trialling the recipe or feeding a single puppy in a smaller household. The 25 lb bag makes more sense for longer-term feeding once you know your puppy does well on it.
Feeding & use
Transition over 7–10 days by mixing increasing amounts of this Orijen puppy large breed recipe with your puppy's current food until the switch is complete. Follow the feeding guide on the bag, using both your puppy's current weight and expected adult weight, and keep fresh water available at all times.
Weigh portions rather than scooping by eye. Large-breed puppies do best on consistent, measured meals split across three feedings a day until roughly six months, then two feedings thereafter.
What if my puppy won't reach 70 lbs?
If your puppy is headed for a smaller adult size, the all-breed Orijen - Puppy Dry Dog Food or Orijen - Small Breed Dry Dog Food is a closer fit than this Orijen dog food large breed formula. Households with an older companion at home can pair it with Orijen - Senior Dry Dog Food, which keeps the same biologically appropriate approach tuned for mature dogs.
How does it compare to an all-life-stages kibble?
The difference is mineral control. This Orijen dog food large breed puppy recipe holds calcium and phosphorus at levels appropriate for big, fast-growing frames, while keeping the same 85% animal ingredient base of chicken, turkey, and fish.
Available for same-day pickup at our North York, Toronto storefront, or ships Canada-wide.
