- Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.
- Puppies: At 1 ½ - 3 months old, feed twice the adult amount. At 3-6 months, feed 1 ½ times the adult amount. At 6-11 months, feed 1 ¼ times the adult amount.
- Gestation: Increase from 25% to 50% of the adult amount
- Lactation: Feed “free choice”
When switching diets, it’s important to transition your dog or puppy as it takes time for her digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ORIJEN. Over a 5-7 day period, gradually mix in ORIJEN, increasing the amount each day so that by day 7 you are feeding 100% ORIJEN.

We chose to spend our money on the best food, rather than at the Vet
By LabDad on Jun 9, 2021
We probably spent way too much time comparing ingredients in dog food, but after doing the homework, Orijen Original felt like the best choice for our Labrador. We were transitioning from puppy food to adult and noticed a positive change in the first week. Our family now are firm believers in Orijen. It’s expensive, but we would rather spend our money up front, than at the Vet later.

Picky Eater APPROVED!
By ZeeLovesMickey on May 2, 2021
My dog has became a picky eater in the past few months to the point where he would starve himself if I don’t mix his food with something. After trying different methods I decided to just change his food altogether. My dog loves this food and instantly started eating it without any extras add-ons, didn’t even need to put water in it. This kibble has amazing ingredients as well actually SMELLS like real food. It’s quite pricey but it’s so worth it!

Leo loves it
By Food on Jun 6, 2021
My 175lb Mastiff loves the food. He is a picky eater, but from the first smell he has been gobbling it down. Of course I still add his other little toppers that he likes, steamed veggies, fresh chicken, or egg.

Been Using it for Years & My 8 Year Old Acts Like a Puppy!!
By CessyAnn on May 3, 2021
I absolutely feel this Orijen Original is a healthy food option for your dog! Our doggie loves it & she just turned 8 years old & everyone thinks she is a a puppy! She has held her weight & looks great! I am a huge proponent of raw food, but it is a great alternative, if you aren't able to do so.

Orijen is Amazing!
By Makenna on Apr 24, 2021
I absolutely love ORIJEN. My Bull Terrier goes nuts for it... absolutely nuts. When I made the switch from another brand her coat was so soft within days. I can see that it’s high quality right before my eyes. I love that I can read the ingredients on the bag and recognize them. No b*^% s%^#... Ingredients you can trust.

Lifelong Skin & Ear Problems GONE!
By DogTamer1 on Mar 27, 2021
The proof is in the pudding or, shall I say, the proof is in the switch to this Orijen Original formula dog food. My 10 year old German Shepherd who has battled lifelong hypersensitive skin, coat & ear allergies in spite of the countless top grade dog foods I have switched and switched him to will now get to live out the rest of his days in comfort. Yes, it's expensive but LOOK at the ingredients! Anything I could make for him home made couldn't begin to compare to them. After the switch to this food, his skin stopped itching before he was even finished with the entire 25 pound bag and his ears stopped needing constant ear drops and cleanings to keep them from becoming and goopy and inflamed.

His coat was rather on the course side all of his life and it is becoming softer and softer to the touch, what's more, he LOVES this food; as if he 'knows' it's good for him. I can only pray they never change their ingredients! THANK you, Orijen! … more

great dog food
By adorable on Apr 9, 2021
The best dog food around! You get what you pay for, if you don’t like the price make your dog food at home it doesn’t get better than this. The only thing that sucks is this bag doesn’t reseal it self. Once it’s opened it can’t close and it either had to be put in a different container or closed with chip clips.

Great but a bit pricey
By nami93 on May 29, 2021
My dog has a sensitive stomach and is normally sometimes picky with new food but he loved this. He also did not have any diarrhea or stomach issues after this.
