Biologically appropriate™ for large-breed puppies
Fresh free-run chicken and turkey, nest-laid eggs and wild-caught fish
Rich in protein for large breed muscle mass, and calorie-limited to promote healthy weight and reduce stress on developing bones and joints.
With 38% richly nourishing protein, and a limited 20% low-glycemic carbohydrates, orijen nourishes large breed puppies according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
Unmatched by any other puppy food, 2/3 of orijen meats are fresh (refrigerated, no preservatives) or raw (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top 10 ingredients.
1/3 of meats are air dried at 90°c from fresh chicken, turkey and fish to create a concentrated source of richly nourishing protein to support your growing puppy.
Nutrient-dense wholeprey™ ratios of fresh meats, organs, and cartilage plus fresh whole fish and fresh whole eggs provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient your big puppy needs.
Infusions of freeze-dried chicken and turkey liver enhance flavour naturally, making orijen deliciously tasty for the fussiest of puppies.

Your puppy is unique

That’s why we suggest starting with the guides below, and then monitoring his weight and adjusting portions as needed. Feed twice daily and remember always to keep fresh, clean water available.
