Orijen vs. Fromm
 
I am still debating on which food I will feed my puppy. I have narrowed it down to these two:

Orijen Large Breed Puppy
Fromm Gold Large Breed Puppy

Experiences? Suggestions? :help:

Orijen vs. Fromm
 
My pup is on Fromm L breed puppy and I love it. His skin looks great, poop is solid, no issues... I occasionally mix in some pumpkin or coconut oil too but only a small amount.

I fed my pup Fromm LBPG and was very pleased with the results. I felt by about 14 months he needed a higher protein food and I moved him to another brand.

The Orijen did not really agree with him (loose stools, even after time to adjust) but a different high protein food did. I gather there are plenty of dogs on the forum who do well on one or the other of these foods but not both.

Delgado did fantastic on Fromm LBP, he just finished his last bag a few weeks ago and is now on their Four Star line with my poodle as he's over a year old

Great coat, fantastic overall health, and energy was good on it. I love the company and the quality of their food. Both dogs eat as soon as it's down and lick their bowl spotless, my poodle is a VERY picky eater

Why not see if you can get samples of each food and see which one the puppy likes? A lot of times the stores will have samples to try. My dog did not do well on Orijen and wasn't enthusiatic about Fromm, believe me it was a lot of trial and error until I came up with the food that my boy likes and would do well on. Good luck!

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. Try one and see if it agrees with your puppy. Both are solid kibbles.

If it were me, I'd start with the Fromm, but that's just my personal preference. I think the Orijen's a little overpriced.

I am hearing some wonderful experiences with the Fromm, thus far. Thanks everyone!

Is the Orijen LBP too high in protein for a puppy? The max calcium is 1.7% max phosphorus is 1.4%, is that too high?

Does anyone know what the max calcium/phosphorus levels are in the Fromm Gold Large Breed Puppy?

At what age did you switch to an adult formula?

Another Fromm fan here but both are good foods. I second the getting samples if you can.

Both are great kibbles, can't go wrong with either or. I would choose Orijen just because Champion foods is my personal favourite.

What did you end up feeding?

I'm in a similar boat as the op. I've narrowed it down to Annamaet and Fromm.
