Food & NutritionHello! Would Orijen puppy large breed be a good choice for my 10 months old german shepherd? I heard a lawsuit regarding this product, so should i rely on it or go for a different brand of food?
Good question! Orijen is a grain free food, and the FDA is currently investigating a link between dogs being fed grain free foods and an increased incidence of dilated cardiomyopathy (heart disease). Vets are seeing more dogs with DCM who are on grain free diets. Because of this, I do not recommend feeding Abby a grain free diet. I would get her a large breed puppy food from brands such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!
