RICH in MEAT & PROTEIN | 80% / 40%
ORIJEN PUPPY is made with a full 80% of meat from free-run chicken and turkey, fresh whole eggs and wild-caught fish. These high meat inclusions produce a Biologically Appropriate protein level of 40%, which replicates the natural diet and nourishes your puppy according to his anatomical adaptation to meat protein.
RICH in ANIMAL FAT | 20%
Animal fats and oils are essential for the peak health of all puppies — that’s why ORIJEN is free of plant oils and only features fats of premium animal source. Instead of the highly-processed rendered fats used by conventional pet food makers, over 90% of the fats in ORIJEN occur naturally from high inclusions of fresh chicken, turkey, fish and egg.
DHA & EPA from FRESH FISH | 0.6% / 0.3%
Fresh fish is a perfect source of highly digestible and Biologically Appropriate DHA and EPA Omega-3 fatty acids. Essential for your puppy’s developing immune and nervous systems, as well as his glowing skin and hair coat, these richly nourishing fatty acids are not available from plant oils such as flax, coconut or sunflower.
GRAIN-FREE & CARBOHYDRATE LIMITED | 0% / 20%
Your puppy’s natural diet contains very few, if any grains or carbohydrates. That’s why Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN is grain-free and contains less than half the carbohydrates found in conventional puppy foods.
LIMITED CALCIUM & PHOSPHORUS | 1.7% / 1.4%
The potential oversupply of calcium and phosphorus in high-protein puppy foods is cause for concern. High inclusions of chicken meal, fish meal or turkey meal used to increase protein levels also provide a rich source of minerals and push calcium and phosphorus levels to the upper allowable limits of, respectively, 2.5% and 1.6%. To eliminate these concerns, ORIJEN Puppy has limited calcium and phosphorus, with a guaranteed maximum of 1.7% and 1.4% respectively.
GLUCOSAMINE & CHONDROITIN | 1500mg / 1200mg
ORIJEN’s high ratios of fresh poultry, meats and fish provide a rich source of glucosamine and chondroitin — which is derived naturally from the fresh meat ingredients, without adding synthetic ingredients to the formula.
VETERINARIAN SELECTED BOTANICALS
Providing the element of your puppy‘s natural diet that he craves when foraging for grasses and weeds, ORIJEN’s veterinarian-selected botanicals help support your puppy’s metabolism, strengthen his organs, and serve as cleansers to rid his body of toxins.

Feeding Guidelines:
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, AS THE OLD ADAGE GOES. WELL THE SAME IS TRUE FOR PUPPIES — WHICH IS WHY EVERY PUPPY DESERVES TO EAT ORIJEN.
Protein rich and bursting with fresh local meats and fish, ORIJEN PUPPY is formulated to mirror the foods mother nature intended puppies and young dogs of all breeds and lifestyles to eat.
Equally important is the big ORIJEN taste that your puppy won't soon forget — after all, your puppy deserves to enjoy his meals too.
ORIJEN benefits puppies of every breed and size. Like people, your dog is a unique individual and his feeding requirements will vary with his breed, environment, age and activity.
That’s why we suggest starting with the guides below, and then monitoring his weight and adjusting his rations as needed. We also recommend that you feed him twice daily and that you remember to always keep fresh, clean water available to your beloved puppy.
