ALL PUPPIES REQUIRE A DIET RICH IN PROTEINS AND FATS FROM A VARIETY OF FRESH WHOLE MEATS TO FULLY SUPPORT THEIR RAPID GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. Your puppy shares his eating anatomy with the gray wolf - which means heàevolved for a diet rich and varied in fresh meat, protein and fat - not highly processed carbohydrates and starches. ORIJEN Puppy is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages. The gray wolf is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic dogs. While years of breeding have produced hundreds of )fferent looking wolves the internal workings of wolves and dogs remain unchanged so itàno surprise that their food requirements remain the same too.
