Orijen Puppy Grain-Free Dry Dog Food, 15.4lb Product Description:
- 15.4-lb bag
Product Description
By nature, all puppies are carnivores- biologically adapted for a diet rich and varied in fresh meats, with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses. Designed to match your puppy’s natural diet, Orijen Puppy replicates the healthy and diverse balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that perfectly support the growth of puppies and young dogs. Loaded with the nourishing meat ingredients (80%) that Mother Nature evolved all puppies to eat, Orijen provides free-run chicken and turkey, whole eggs and wild-caught fish that are farmed or fished locally and delivered fresh so they're preservative-free, never frozen, and brimming with the proteins and fats that nourish your puppy completely. Carbohydrate-limited and grain-free to duplicate the natural diet, Orijen Puppy supplies healthful regional fruits, vegetables and botanicals - including sea vegetables, juniper berries and marigold flowers - that are naturally rich in phytonutrients, B-vitamins and essential trace minerals.

By Issabelle Rose
Currently I have a five months old bichon frise. When I first got him as a puppy, I thought I picked out the best food for him, Blue Buffalo at Petsmart. However, when I got home, I did more research and found Orijen. As owners of bichons, or malteses, or poodles know, they tend to have problems with tear staining because of their white fur. Since I already got him Blue Buffalo, I thought I'll finish it before switching. Because of the tomato pomace (it's the leftover tomato seed, pulp, and skin) in the ingredients list, he had tear staining problems. I did nightly cleanings of his eyes, but it was still noticeable.Now it's been a month since Orijen Puppy, and I just realized that it's been a few weeks since I had to clean his eyes. Even my friends who visit us constantly commented on just how clean and bright his eyes look.Besides helping with the tear staining, Orijen is an all-around great food. I've also noticed his coat has a sheen to it. His poops are solid, not too soft or hard. He loves it, gobbles it down each time. I am extremely excited about feeding him this awesome food! And I will whole-heartedly recommend this dog food to anyone. It's totally worth it.

dogfoodanalysis dot com rates all Orijen dog foods 6 out of 6. I had been feeding my puppy Natural Balance Organic Formula (no dairy, only one meat source), but after discovering that it was only rated a 4, I started looking into higher quality foods. Switching was super easy, my puppy loves Orijen. Since she's been on Orijen, I haven't noticed any smelly breath like she used to have, and her poop doesn't stink! I know it sounds crazy, I had read that in reviews about this food before, and could barely believe it but it's true. Orijen puppy has 10 total meat ingredients (it's 75% meat!), including fish, and no grains, which are not part of a wild dog's diet, instead having a good range of fruits and vegetables, as well as vitamins, minerals, and probiotics. All the ingredients Orijen uses are very high quality and their meat sources are closely monitored and sustainable. I've heard some people say that Orijen formulas are too rich for their dogs, so maybe don't try to switch from any really low end stuff. It is a high protein, low carb food, meant to mimic a wild dog's natural diet. I think this is about as close as you can get to that with a dry formula.The only cons I can think of is that it's hard to find, there's only one place I can find that carries it locally (I live in the suburbs of Detroit, lots of pet supply stores...) and it costs $40 for the 15.4 lb bag there. The lowest I've seen it online was for 34.99, but with high shipping. But, I feel that providing premium food for my dog will ultimately save on vet bills later and improve quality of life for her, so I don't mind the cost so much.Also, just FYI, Orijen does do a frequent buyer's program, after you buy 12 bags you get the 13th free. The local store I buy it from set me up, you have to keep receipts and the barcodes from the bags and it has to be the same size bag every time, but I don't think it has to be the same formula. It's kind of strict but I think it's going to be worth it by the time I need that 13th bag.

By J. Marcelino
I bought a Toy Poodle last summer and found that he was getting really dry/flaky skin. I was given some no-name food from the breeder and my vet suggested this may be the problem. After recommendations and a search for the best dog food--I finally found it! My boy absolutely loves it and his itchy skin was gone. His coat is so much softer and shinier now. I recently switched to Orijen Regional Red and he loves it even MORE! If you can get a hold of some of that stuff I suggest you do. It is a little pricier than the other Orijen formulas but I can almost guarantee your dog will love it. Every time one of his puppy pals are over they're always sniffing and licking his empty bowl. Worth every penny!
