I find Orijen high in protein personally.
I like Acana Grasslands grain free food.
It is made by the same Company, same quality of ingredients but a lower protein %.
My Corso have done very well on it

Orijen can be high in protein and sometimes they can end up with some loose stool as it is too rich. That being said Acana can be a little high in protein as well causing the same issue. It will end up being trial and error for the most part on what will work for your puppy but if you do a search on topics here there is lots of info on dog food to look at and recommendations to try out but some foods to look at that I have heard good things about are Fromm, Taste of the Wild, Go, Now, Acana. It will also depend on what is available in your area, sometimes Orijen is available but they don't carry Acana or the other way around... see what works best for your puppy and fits in your budget Just remember to change foods over slowly or you will have some tummy troubles on your hands.

If you feed Acana to a puppy you really want either the wild prairie or pacifica formulas for the right ratio of calcium to phosphorus. Orijen is a little higher protein and it is too rich for some puppies. I would avoid Royan Canin if at all possible. If you're looking for even more options there are tons of threads around here about what foods are and what foods aren't appropriate for mastiff pups. Good luck.

thanks for help guys , i will continue looking thru the forum and finding out wats best

as expected Orijen is to rich for my pup an his stool is almost water like. I think imma go for taste o the wild because Acana will probably giv me the same results simply bcuz its only 5% less crude protein

Personally I don't like TOTW anymore. Earthborn Holistics is what we feed now and it's pretty comparable in ingredients and price and the company doesn't have a history of recalls and lawsuits. If you are going to feed TOTW though you want to feed the Sierra mountain formula and make sure you transition from the old food to the new over a period of time.

What do you think of eukanuba
