I believe orijen don't consider a lab 'large breed' so no, just regular pup food from them.
I too feed orijen, I have previously fed burns (the other end of the scale protein wise!) and also BARF (raw meat). I've not been unhappy with any of those

How much orijen food does a young puppy get through roughly. And should i soke it first or will a 8 week old puppy be fine eating it dry. This seams to be my new fav.
For people that feed a raw meat diet how does this compare in price to dry food. Sorry for the million?. X

Totally agree with Jules - BARF is absolutely the most natural way to feed a dog, and really 'the best' (but not really the most convenient). You need to have the time, inclination and oodles of freezer space, but if you travel a lot, have loads of dogs, and don't have room for chest freezers, mincers etc, then it is not always possible.
You can look up Orijen online and either buy online or find a local stockist. They also do Acana, which is still grain free, but not such a high meat content (more like 60%).
And ditto "not all foods suit all dogs". It is a case of their 'taste' as much as ours! But some are intrinsically better/more suitable than others....
