  • Your dog is unique and feeding requirements will vary with environment, age, and activity. That’s why we suggest starting with the guide on the bag, and then monitoring their weight and adjusting portions as needed.

    Feed twice daily and remember to always keep fresh, clean water available. Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. 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.

Make The Switch: Transition To Orijen Dog Food

Dogs are often fed the same food, and sometimes a sudden food change makes it difficult for their digestive systems to adapt, which is why it’s important to introduce the new food gradually. Going slowly will give your dog time to adjust to their new food and will also reduce the chances of digestive upset.
