Orijen - Puppy Large Breed Dry Dog Food
Description
TL;DR: Orijen Puppy Large Breed is a biologically appropriate dry dog food made with 85% animal ingredients from chicken, turkey, and fish, formulated for puppies expected to mature over 70 lbs. Controlled calcium and phosphorus support steady skeletal growth during the fast-growth months.
Large-breed puppies grow fast, and their joints and bones need time to catch up. This recipe focuses on controlled growth — not just calories — so your puppy develops lean muscle and a strong frame without the stress of overly rapid weight gain.
It's also a practical pick for active GTA households whose puppies will eventually be regulars at the dog park near me, where strong joints and steady energy matter.

- 85% animal ingredients from chicken, turkey, and fish

Who is it for?
This food is built for puppies of large and giant breeds — think Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Bernese Mountain Dogs — expected to weigh more than 70 lbs as adults. It's a strong option from day one of solid food through the rapid-growth stage.
Available in 13.2 lb for smaller households or trialing the recipe, and 25 lb 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 three feedings a day until around six months, then two feedings thereafter.
What else should you know?
Good nutrition pairs well with good grooming habits. If you're already looking up dog groomers near me or dog grooming near me to keep your puppy's coat in shape, building feeding and grooming routines together makes the early months much smoother.
