You need a large volume bag, since this comes in a 6 ounce size, or you have a large breed puppy, since the formula excludes growth for large size dogs.

Overview
["This 6 ounce bag comes in a medallion and morsel shape that ORIJEN calls Epic Bites, and it is built to be grain free, corn free, potato free, and free of soy and wheat. The label lists apple, carrot, kelp, and pumpkin among the special ingredients, alongside the brand's WholePrey approach.", 'ORIJEN markets it as formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, with one exception: it is not intended for growth in large breed dogs expected to reach 70 pounds or more as adults. The brand also notes no added antibiotics, no artificial flavors, and wild caught ingredients.', "At $23.99 for 6 ounces, it is priced at a premium per ounce, consistent with ORIJEN's positioning. With 62 reviews and a 4.4 star average, it is a smaller sample size than some competitors, but the rating itself is solid."]
