Across all Orijen dog food, dried fish, poultry and meat ingredients are made of flesh, bones and cartilage, and provide a concentrated source of protein, with their bone content providing a very rich source of minerals.

We adopted a puppy a bit over 2 months ago. Our puppy was originally on science diet from his rescue organization. I found out about Orijen from a friend and was impressed by the ingredients. I started off with a small 4.5 pound bag and started mixing it with his science diet and he LOVED it. We are almost fully transitioned to this Orijen food and I’ve seen good changes in my pup including more solid stools.

Puppy wouldn’t touch it

We have an American Staffordshire Terrier and he is 13 weeks. We did a lot of research and this one looked phenomenal with a lot of great reviews. We didn’t mind

We have an American Staffordshire Terrier and he is 13 weeks. We did a lot of research and this one looked phenomenal with a lot of great reviews. We didn’t mind a premium cost for a premium product either. The puppy though will not touch this at all. We’ve been trying to feed him it for over a week and he hasn’t even eaten 2 cups of it. The only way we can get him to take any bites is to add actual chicken to it. We also tried adding water and heating it up as well. Now we have to buy a different kind despite buying the largest size possible of this one. If you want to try it get the smallest size first.

My 6 months old Mini-pincher chihuahua mix boy has been eating Orijen puppy food, and he cleans his bowl really good! We started with small breed puppy food, but he has no problem switching to “regular” size puppy food. I’m glad that he like the food!!

Handle with care PLEASE

Bag was ripped, when handling prior to being shipped. Hopefully, I don’t have to resort to in-person shopping.

Little pebbles, easy to chew!

I like that it's in little pebble size easy for my Miniature American Eskimo to chew! The orijen Original size is a little larger but he loves it, it just takes

I like that it's in little pebble size easy for my Miniature American Eskimo to chew! The orijen Original size is a little larger but he loves it, it just takes him a long time to eat and finish the bowl, so I figured I'd try the puppy version for the smaller pebble size option. He sniffed at it but knows it's a little different, so I'll have to update how he does with it. He's super picky, Orijen is the first dry food I found that he'll eat, I've tried several different brands & he wouldn't touch it!! If he decides to go on strike with this, then I'll go back to the Orijen Original I know he loves!

High quality puppy food.

Haven't used yet but when my new puppy arrives I will transition to this food from her current diet. I feel good about feeding this brand to a puppy.
