YOUR PUPPY IS UNIQUE

Your large breed puppy is unique and his nutritional needs vary depending on his environment, his age and his activity level.

For this reason we recommend that you start feeding using the guides below, regularly checking your puppy's weight and changing the rations as needed. The recommended frequency is two meals a day, always leaving fresh, clean water available.

† Use a standard 250ml/120g scoop. Serve dry or slightly moistened. We recommend that you visit your trusted veterinarian regularly. To best maintain the freshness of the product, we recommend carefully closing the bag and storing it in a cool, dry place.

ORIJEN Puppy Large is designed to meet the levels established by the AAFCO nutritional profiles for dog food at every life stage.

CALORIE CONTENT

With more calories coming from proteins and fats instead of carbohydrates, ORIJEN Puppy Large reproduces the calorie distribution typical of the natural diet of puppies, thus reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes.

The metabolisable energy is 3720 kcal/kg (446 kcal per 250ml/120g) of which 41% comes from proteins, 39% from fruit and vegetables and 20% from fats.

OUR PHILOSOPHY FOR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE FOOD

The gray wolf is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic dogs. Although years and years of crossbreeding have produced “different-looking wolves,” the internal functions of the dogs' bodies have remained unchanged, so it's no wonder that their dietary needs are unchanged. Our 5 Biologically Appropriate Food Principles are simple and replicate the freshness and variety of animal ingredients that dogs evolved with.

• RICH IN ANIMAL INGREDIENTS (85%) AND PROTEINS (38%)

  The sharp teeth and anatomy of puppies are made to metabolize proteins and fats from meat. ORIJEN is designed to provide puppies with all the nutrients necessary to meet their biological needs.

  • 85% animal ingredients (2/3 FRESH or RAW and 1/3 delicately dehydrated)
  • 38% nutritious meat proteins
  • 100% of animal ingredients come from animals declared fit for human consumption before being included in our foods
  • FREE from vegetable protein extracts or concentrates (from potatoes or peas)
  • FREE from high glycemic index carbohydrates (tapioca, potatoes, rice)
  • FREE from gluten or cereals

• UNPARALLELED AMOUNT OF INCLUSIONS OF FRESH ANIMAL INGREDIENTS (2/3)

  Fresh animal ingredients are the basis of award-winning ORIJEN foods.

  • 2/3 of the animal ingredients are FRESH or RAW to provide puppies with essential nutrients in their richest, most natural form.
  • 1/3 of the animal ingredients are dehydrated at low temperatures to create a concentrated source of nutritious protein that is not obtainable from fresh animal ingredients alone.

• AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF ANIMAL INGREDIENTS (5)

  In the wild, puppies can eat a rich variety of meat. Often, however, this variety is not found in conventional puppy foods, which contain, in most cases, only one animal ingredient, usually chicken or lamb, heavily manipulated and rarely fresh. That's why the award-winning ORIJEN Puppy Large food contains a rich diversity of fresh animal ingredients in Biologically Appropriate proportions of WholePrey™ to provide the nutrients needed for large breed puppies to grow and develop at their best:

  • Fresh chicken raised in the wild on prairie farms
  • Fresh turkey raised in nature on prairie farms
  • Fresh, whole eggs laid in nests on prairie farms
  • Fresh herring and sardine, whole and caught in the Pacific of North Vancouver Island

• ANIMAL INGREDIENTS IN THE PROPORTIONS OF WHOLE PREY (WHOLEPREY)

  Predators, such as wolves and wild cats, feed on the whole animal, so Mother Nature ensured that the animals, in their entirety, contained all the nutrients necessary to best meet the dietary needs of carnivores. The WholePrey™ concept represents the evolution of ORIJEN foods and consists of fresh meat, organs and cartilage in proportions typically found in nature, eliminating the need for a long list of synthetic additives.

  • Animal ingredients – essential for proteins and fats, as well as vitamins A, B, D and K, copper, chromium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium and zinc.
  • Organs – Packed with virtually all the nutrients your puppy needs to thrive, including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and amino acids.
  • Edible Bone – A rich source of minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium, in the natural form that your puppy's body can easily absorb.

• LOW CARBOHYDRATE CONTENT (20%)

  Although dogs (and puppies) have no nutritional need for carbohydrates, common puppy foods are high in high-glycemic carbohydrates such as potatoes and tapioca, which are often thought to be the root cause of obesity and diabetes.

  The Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN Puppy food is rich in protein and has a low carbohydrate content thanks to lentils, chickpeas, pumpkin, fruit and vegetables, which release sugars gradually, drastically decreasing the potential accumulation of fat.
