Triet, I was considering Orijen too, but ended up going with Fromm since it’s nearly half the cost and still very good quality. My pup loves it. She’s a 3 month old Saint Bernard.

Yes, I’m referring to this food.

Oh! It’s 3g/1000 kcal *or lower*?

I must have misread that part. Thanks!

My experience has shown that the Internet tends to be better informed than most vets. Finding a reliable vet is difficult at best.

I’m concerned that the Fromm food has less than 3g/1000 kcal calcium.

Hello,

First post, but I’ve been reading here a few days.

I have a 12 week old purebred Saint Bernard puppy. She’s currently on Eagle Pack but I’d like to switch her to something else, I’m thinking either Orijen if I can afford it on a regular basis (I heard their prices went up and their bag size is going down) or Fromm Gold Holistic Large Breed Puppy. $50 or under is ideal, but I can probably budget a little more if the food is worth it. Any suggestions? Also, how long should I be feeding puppy food?

An as aside, if it helps anyone, I contacted Taste of the Wild and they got back to me today. Here’s what they said about their food:

“Below are the calcium and phosphorous levels for all of our dry formulas. The levels below are based on an as fed basis of a typical analysis of the formula.

Hope this helps someone.
