In my personal opinion Orijen is the best commercial food on the market or at the very least a top 5 food, i have been using it for my pets for many years and have been recommending it for years as well.

    Orijen is a very good dog food brand. There are many great brands, but the best one is the one that your dog does well on! I recommend starting with Orijen, and feeding for 1 month. Re-evaluate your puppy at the end of the month. Has she continued to gain weight as is normal for a puppy? Does she like to eat it? Has she had vomiting or diarrhea? Does her skin and coat look healthy and shiny? Storing dog food properly is also important to helping keep your dog healthy.
