Grain-Free Chicken & Salmon Puppy Kibble vs Orijen Original Grain-Free Dry Dog Food

Buy the Orijen Original if you want one food that covers a puppy through adulthood and a large bag that lasts. Buy the Chicken & Salmon puppy kibble if you have a puppy and want a formula built only for growth, with salmon and chicken as the proteins. Orijen has the stronger reputation and a WholePrey recipe with organs and bone plus a freeze-dried coating, and owners report good coats and firm stools. The puppy kibble scores well with its buyers but is a narrower formula, so most puppies will do fine on either.

• Choose the Chicken & Salmon Grain-Free Puppy Kibble if you have a puppy and want a growth-specific recipe with salmon and chicken, and you do not need one food to carry the dog into adulthood.
• Choose the Orijen Original if you want a single grain-free food for a puppy through its adult years, in a large bag, from a brand known for high animal-inclusion recipes.
