| I have been feeding Orijen to my dogs for a few years now. When we got our puppy, two years ago, I started her on Orijen puppy. The older dog, at that time was 3, was eating the Orijen Adult Six Fresh Fisg. Puppy started on the chicken base. Both dogs have done GREAT on this food. My older one had problems for a while with many other foods. I finally found Orijen and he has done wonderful on it. The puppy started it as a puppy and is now 2 years old and is doing absolutely fine. We love the Orijen food. Its difficult to get here in NY but I have it shipped in. Its expensive too but we use less than the average kibble. I think you should try it. I personally like the Six Fresh Fish formula but have done well with the Chicken formula as well. Again, a food is only good if it works for your dog. |
