ORIJEN Puppy Food - Biologically Appropriate for All Breeds and Sizes
By nature, puppies are facultative carnivores - they thrive on a varied diet of meats with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses, and are biologically adapted to process proteins as an energy source.
High in protein and low in carbohydrate, ORIJEN PUPPY's grain-free formula replicates the same rich and diverse balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that puppies and young dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting.
ORIJEN PUPPY has a Metabolizable Energy (ME) of 4200 kcal/kg or 480 kcal per 250ml cup (120g). Calories are distributed to promote peak physical conditioning with 40% from protein, 20% from fruit & vegetables and 40% from fat.
Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN PUPPY naturally nourishes puppies of all breeds and sizes. This high-protein, low-carbohydrate puppy food mirrors the original canine diet and naturally satiates appetite - so expect to feed less than you would of conventional pet foods.
As each puppy is different, feeding requirements will vary with size, environment, age and activity. Feed twice daily and always keep fresh, clean water available.

My dog's pick in a 12 food taste test! Out of all the foods he sampled, he ate this one with the most enthusiasm and this was the first he finished.
Only wish is that this food came in a small bites size! He did struggle a bit with the large size of the kibbles (although that didn't keep him from eating it).

Inspite of the fact that I fed it to my Pekes gradually, Ihad to wash butts once or twice daily and scrub out poop from my kennel. Every time Iwent out there was poop all over the place.Ieven had to give one dog Kaopectate because her's got so bad. Iquit using it and they got o.k. Maybe Igot a bad bag. Idon't know, but am very dissappointed.
This is the only kibble one of the several kibbles we've tried for our puppy, including the one the breeder fed him, that he will actually eat alone.
In addition, as a Bichon/Shi Tzu with white fur, he tends to have tearing, and that immediately stopped when we startred the Orijin.

I really love this food for my Havanese. I am still using it even though he is now turning two because he uses so much energy. When and if he slows down, I'll switch to the adult version.

Transitioning my puppy to this, he loved it so much he was rolling in it the first time I mixed it into his food.

I bought a bag of orijen puppy food after the dog I adopted started throwing up her old food and rejecting it. When the Orijen came, she started biting at the bag, trying to get at the contents. We ordered samples of other dog foods along with the orijen, and put some of each kibble out next to her, and she chose orijen. This is the only kibble that gets her excited.
