any feeders of Orijen out there? if so how do you find it does with your dogs?

I have just been away for 3 days and thus unable to feed my dogs raw due to location of course and B & B etc, so always keep Orijen to hand, and they LOVE it especially the 6 fish variety and do very well on it.

Got mine on fish variety - not enough freezer space at the moment for raw. Was a bit sceptical but they love it , great poos - one girl in particular has never had such well formed poop and always was soft / runny at least once a day - now perfect ( sorry for the detail :-)) and it's working out less expensive than I anticipated as not needing to feed large amounts to keep condition on -4x very active beasts !
Very pleased overall .

I fed Orijen for a good few years before I switched to raw and found it to be excellent, dogs did brilliantly on it and hardly any smell from the poo. My friend also switched to it but found the high protein level was detrimental to one of her dogs behaviour, after a bit of digging I found out that although most dogs are fine with high protein a small percentage do react badly to it.
I got a dog for my husband......it was a fair swap.

Hi Tadog

All My Dogs are RAW Fed...following Tom Lonsdale's Raw Meaty Bones Diet... http://www.RawMeatyBones.com

But I have a Maine Coon...Bracken..who has six kittens at the minute...who I have on Orijen Cat...Tinned Tuna...and Butchers Classic Cat...(No added colours/e-numbers or cereal fillers) from Asda

Although most of My Cats have taken to Raw Feeding...Bracken was a complete Biscuit Freak...bad-tempered....and suffered what I can only describe as withdrawal symptoms...if She couldn't have Her "kibble fix"....!

I was actually quite concerned that She would have enough nutrients in Her milk to support Her babies....but on Orijen Cat...Butchers Classic Cat...and Tinned Tuna...Her 6 little ones are thriving....

I feel that Orijen is one of the better Kibbles...but just ensure that there is always plenty of Cold Clear Water available...(I keep the Kitchen Tap dripping constantly for My Maines....! :-) )
