ORIJEN Original Dry Dog Food Directions:
- Because your dog is unique and ORIJEN™ pet foods are packed with animal protein, feeding requirements will vary with breed, environment, age and activity.
- Orijen suggests using the feeding guide below as a starting point, and monitoring your dog’s weight and adjusting portions as needed.
- Feed your pet twice daily and always keep fresh, clean water available.
- PUPPIES: At 1 1/2 -3 months old, feed 2x the Adult amount
- 3-6 Months: Feed 1 1/2 times the Adult amount
- 6-11 Months: Feed 1 1/4 times the Adult amount.
- GESTATION: Increase from 25-50% the Adult Amount
- LACTATION: Feed "free choice."
- When switching diets, transitioning slowly will give your pet’s digestive system time to adjust to the nutrient-levels in ORIJEN. Over a 10-14 day period, gradually mix in ORIJEN, increasing the amount each day so that by the end you are feeding 100% ORIJEN.
While ORIJEN Original provides a balanced and nutritious diet with high-quality animal ingredients, consider rotating protein sources occasionally. This can be beneficial for your dog's taste preferences and provides a variety of nutrients. ORIJEN offers different formulas with various protein sources, allowing you to switch between them to add diversity to your dog's diet.
