About ORIJEN Puppy Large Dry Dog Food

ORIJEN Puppy Large Dry Dog Food is a grain-free, meat-rich complete diet made for growing large breed puppies. It is designed to support steady growth, strong bones and lean muscles, without excess calories.

The recipe uses 85% quality poultry and fish ingredients, including fresh or raw chicken, turkey, whole fish and eggs. Because of this high animal content, ORIJEN Puppy Large Dry Dog Food provides natural protein, fat, vitamins and minerals from WholePrey ingredients like meat, organs and bone.

Why choose ORIJEN Puppy Large Dry Dog Food

ORIJEN Puppy Large Dry Dog Food is specially balanced for large breed puppies. These puppies need enough protein and energy for growth, but they also need controlled calories and minerals so that bones and joints develop at the right pace.

The food provides around 38% protein and 16% fat, with calcium about 1.3% and phosphorus about 1.1%. This controlled calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is important for safe bone development in large breed puppies. At the same time, the energy level helps avoid rapid weight gain, which can put extra strain on growing joints.

Because ORIJEN Puppy Large Dry Dog Food uses WholePrey ingredients and limited carbohydrates, more calories come from protein and fat and fewer from starch. This pattern is closer to a natural canine diet and supports strong, athletic growth.

Feeding ORIJEN Puppy Large Dry Dog Food

You should feed ORIJEN Puppy Large Dry Dog Food according to your puppy’s weight, age and activity level. Large breed puppies grow for longer, so they need careful portion control and regular monitoring of body condition.

As a guide, most brands recommend:

• Younger puppies (about 2–4 months) often need a higher amount per kg bodyweight, split into three or four meals a day.

• From 5–8 months, you can reduce to two or three meals a day and adjust portions as growth slows.

• From 9–12 months and beyond, many large breed puppies move towards adult-style feeding while still on ORIJEN Puppy Large Dry Dog Food.

Always follow the feeding table on the bag for starting amounts. Then, check your puppy’s body condition every couple of weeks. If your puppy looks too lean, increase the daily amount a little. If they look heavy or lose their waist, reduce it slightly. Always provide fresh, clean water.

For best results, change to ORIJEN Puppy Large Dry Dog Food over 7–10 days. Start by mixing a small amount with the old food, then slowly increase the new food while reducing the old food. This gentle change supports digestion and helps your puppy accept the new diet.
