Hi,

Have done lots of research on high quality dog food for our new english mastiff puppy that we will be welcoming into our home in a few weeks and I wanted to now what people thought about Orijen LBP and are there others out there feeding this food to their mastiffs?

I have bullmastiffs and that is what I feed. My breeder, who also does EM, and the pet store owner that I buy from who has a EM highly recomended it. Never had a problem with first dog who is 2 1/2 know and my new puppy who is 3 1/2 months is doing good on it. It has won many awards and has very little fillers in.

I currently feed Orijen to my Corso and my Pitty. I had my Corso on the Large Breed Puppy and he did great with it! I didn't start him on it initially, I still had some dog food homework to do when I first got my Corso, so I didn't start him on it until after his growth plates closed (I certainly have come a long way from feeding my Pitty Puppy Chow from Walmart!). But I did some homework when he was about 8-9 months old on dog food in general and discovered Orijen. I found good reviews on the Large Breed Puppy on a German Shepherd Dog forum. That has to be a good sign with all the osteo- problems the GSDs have.

Hello,

I have my 8 month old English Mastiff on Orijen Large Breed Pup for the past 5 months now. However, I mix it with Lifes Abundance dry kibble as the grain free rich Orijen by itself makes his stool too loose. I have my Samoyed on Orijen 100% and and he does great , no loose stools. After reading the Orijen White Paper and learning about how they make the food it is clear that Orijen makes the best dog food in the world. Of course it is " crazy" expensive but these Mastiffs are worth it !!! My Mastiff is doing great, he looks awesome and is about 142 pounds now. Just remember to mix in the Orijen very slow when first trying and literally take 2 months to get to a 50/50 ratio with your current food or Life Abundance ( also an amazing food that I highly reccomend ! )

Also consider Acana, same maker as Orijen and lower protein which many think is better for young large breed pups, you can also feed the adult food straight away for slower growth.

Molly is a little over 4 months now and we just switched her to Nutro Holistic Superfood as recommended by Vet. I just wanted to know if any of you know much about this food and if it is a good one. It's puppy food for large breeds. Thanks in advance!
