- 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 1/2 - 3 months old, feed twice the adult amount. At 3-6 months, feed 1 1/2 times the adult amount. At 6-11 months, feed 1 1/4 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.
About ORIJEN Dry Dog Food
The Pinnacle of Nutrition
Dogs are ancestral carnivores, and they thrive on a biologically appropriate diet. ORIJEN provides optimal canine nutrition by using unsurpassed quantities of fresh or raw meat from a variety of Wholeprey animal protein sources.

She likes it and it's new for her!
By 2Poo on Nov 20, 2021
I decided to switch from her organic chicken based recipe due to this having fresh and raw ingredients. I like that there is the very tiny kibble for the small breed dogs. She took to it right away, even though it was a switch for her. So I only marked off 1 star b/c it's not organic. I may go back to the other or trade off and on only b/c the other is organic. I still need to do more comparison of the ingredients and %s in both brands.

Finally A Food he will Eat
By Fredo on Sep 6, 2021
This is a great option for your little pal. My dog is the PICKIEST eater, and I’ve tried at least 20 different foods with him. Finally went with this one after going off of Stella Chewy (also rockin). He has good stools and actually eats the entire bowl.

Orijen is quality dry dog food but.....
By ShorkieMom on Jul 24, 2021
My 14yr old , 11lb Shorkie has so many allergies- both food & environmental, so finding a food for her can be quite tedious & time consuming. I’ve always loved the Orijen/Acana lines, however my senior Shorkies has not been able to try it as its kibble is quite big for a small breed, and on top of that being elderly, she has dental issues... a few teeth she’s had to have removed, a couple just slightly loose. I was excited to see when the specifically introduced small breed bites! I purchased it and everything seemed great until I opened the bag- the kibble does not appear to be very much different than regular Orijen/ Acana. Oh, sure, it’s a tad bit smaller and even those seem to be hit & miss My 14yr old , 11lb Shorkie has so many allergies- both food & environmental, so finding a food for her can be quite tedious & time consuming.

Orijen is above quality in just about every aspect- and ESPECIALLY when it’s exactly what I do (and don’t) need for her allergies! Orijen! Please please make smaller kibble available! You’re missing out on a area of demographics that truly need the help & benefit of your food! Thank you kindly, we’ll be waiting!:) Note- I took of one stars for kibble size/eatiability because that’s super important to my dog. … more

Good Food!!
By Bella on Sep 22, 2021
My Pomeranian loves this food. And I just got another Pom that’s 7 weeks old. I have to fight to keep her out of it. She rather that than puppy food.

Excellent Quality Food!!!
By LovingDogOwner on Jun 29, 2021
After having our dogs for a few years, we learned a lot in the doggie parks from caring dog owners, in the Vets' offices from our vets and on the internet, and there is so much "meal" and filler garbage in most dog foods, so we looked and looked until we found this brand, and it seems to be one of the best store-bought dry pet foods judging by the ingredients list - our dogs are healthy and like the food, so we're very happy returning customers for this brand!
