Orijen - Gone in 60 seconds

Hi all.

We have been feeding Olli Eukanuba now mixing it with some Naturediet for varience. He sometimes finishes is tea, but will nearly always leave 1/3 plus of is breakfast; such a fussy eater.

Anyway, Olli went for his swim at My Pet Stop where they were running a Orijen promo. I picked up some of the large puppy food, and mixed it in with his Eukanuba.

The result was all of is tea was gone in next to no time. I put some more of the Orijen down in his bowl, and he polished it off in under 60 seconds.

Orijen is very expensive, and I'm interested to know what other forum users experiences are with this food?

It's really good stuff but soooooo expensive

We used to feed it then hubby was made redundant so can't afford it now

BUT my boy was always a bit loose on it, it's very rich

But top of the range stuff

I feed mine it for their evening meal (they have Raw for Breakfast)
I also sell it
Its the only kibble I sell and feed.
Expensive yes but you feed less, stools are small and firm (in my dogs anyway) and no crap ingredients.
Until a few months ago mine were raw fed only, but they love the orijen just as much.

no I dont like the amount of different roots they put in and the amount of added vitamins if this is a biological appropriate food why do they need to add the amount of vits they do?
