ORIJEN Original Recipe High-Protein Grain-Free Dry Dog Food for Adult Dogs - 25lb Bag | Premium Natural Nutrition for Active & Healthy Pets | Perfect for Daily Meals & Training Treats

Beyond a doubt this is a superior product. Looking at the ingredients there is no byproduct or meal to be found. All of the ingredients are things I would expect to see on human grade labels. I was especially impressed to see the different herbs integrated in with the formula.The 4 pound bag lasted my 2 big dogs A-day. I was very eager to go by more. I generally purchase blue brand dog food and have been quite pleased with it but agree that this product is superior.Unfortunately $30 for a 4 pound bag makes it extraordinarily out of my price range with 2 large dogs. It is a shame because everything an active dog needs to stay healthy and whole is in one bag with this product but it is way beyond my price range... it would cost me around $900 a month at that price.My dogs LOVE this kibble!They are 3 and 4 years old. One of my dogs is grain sensitive and used to have non-stop rashes and itchy skin (and diarrhoea and gas with corn based products before I knew better - dogs can't digest corn, yet many brands contain it because it is a cheap by-product) Since I switched to the diet outlined below they haven't had a day sick, a single tummy upset or a skin rash.Previously, I also struggled with them being a bit too heavy. I didn't want to cut them down any more because they were always SO hungry. Since switching to the diet outlined below, I have no problem maintaining thier weight and they are no longer hungry between meals.I rotate my dogs through the various flavors. My vet said that it is best not to rely on one protein source as dogs may get food sensitivities and/or bored with it.I used to buy the Orijen Arcana but don't anymore because it is lower protein. I give my dogs fresh produce (fresh raw chopped vegetables once a day, and tiny quantities of fruit (I always check what dogs can and cannot have before giving them any produce) so they don't need the higher percentage of dried fruit and vegetables included the Arcana kibble. My vet recommended this to help fill them up and it works.I also mix this kibble with Primal raw frozen nuggets (also alternating the Primal proteins each time I buy a bag) so they get raw meat with every meal, and they get one raw meaty bone each week (I buy the Primal bones from Pet Club). I felt weird about giving them dry kibble alone as that might be convenient for us, but I feel that it would be like us eating protein/energy type bars for every meal. I strongly feel that dogs (and humans) need fresh, raw ingredients too.I also give my dogs a spoonful of lactose free (a lot of dogs can't digest lactose) plain yogurt with one meal a day. One of my rescues came to me with a yeast infection due to the gross diet (you don't want to know) she was subjected to, at the very shonky "rescue" place. Our vet put her on a couple of courses of probiotics and recommended I give her yogurt each day to cure the infection. They both loved it so I saw no reason to stop. The probiotics and calcium can only be a good thing in my opinion, and if I run out they sit by thier bowls waiting after they eat, 'cause they know its missing!For treats I give them Canidae Grain Free dog treats as they are very low calorie, small, firm, chewy treats that can be put in your pocket without them disintegrating during a walk or training.It took me a lot of time to sort out what worked best for us. I am not an expert, but my dogs love their food and my vet says that they are in perfect health and at the perfect weight, and that their diet couldn't be better, so perhaps this info might help someone put together a complete diet for their dog.Here is what I feed them twice a day:All dogs are different, but my 18lb dog (who was a slightly overweight 21lb dog before this diet) gets:- 1/4 cup Orijen kibble twice a day.-1 thawed primal meat nugget twice a day. I rotate through the various Primal Frozen meat nuggets. You can also buy these freeze dried and reconstitute them with water but I much prefer giving them the raw primal nuggets (I put 4 in a pyrex container in the fridge each night and they are defrosted enough for the next day)In the morning I add a spoonful of plain lactose-free yogurt to thier dishes. And in the evening I add about 1/4 cup produce instead of the yogurt. Generally a mix of two items - either chopped green beans, cucumber, broccoli, carrots, cooked squash (I use canned organic non-sweetened, plain - beware pie pumpkin with spices) red, yellow, green peppers, a little romaine, other leafy greens - sometimes a couple blueberries, pieces of apple, orange, pineapple, melon etc.My 11lb dog gets exactly the same except she gets a bit less than half of of the kibble that I give 18lb dog at each meal.Once a week I give them their dinner minus the primal frozen nugget and then give them a raw meaty lamb or beef bone or marrow bone (Primal brand) which they gnaw on for hours. It helps clean their teeth too.I also keep a couple of cans of sardines in the cupboard for when I run out of the primal frozen nuggets or forget to defrost them, or simply as a way of alternating their diet. I simply add one sardine each to the kibble. Sardines are excellent for dogs and my dogs love them! Be sure to purchase the ones packed in spring water with NO salt added (grab a couple when they are on sale) I also occasionally give them a raw egg which they also love. They love that too. Sometimes if I see a pack of 50% off meat at the store, I will give them some diced raw beef or lamb with their kibble (I chop it and freeze it in meal sized portions to alternate with the kibble.Hope this info is of use to someone. If so, please click "helpful" as I spend a lot of time on my reviews hoping to perhaps help someone, and I also believe in supporting great products!I am happy to answer any questions. I couldn't be happier with the quality of this kibble.My dogs are seniors at 11 and 13 years of age, and they’re drastically different in size as well; one tiny and one big. Neither are picky eaters, so they’ll eat just about whatever is in sight, so I knew introducing Orijen Dry Dog Food into their bowls would be a piece of cake! Thankfully, both still can eat dry kibble, too, and they immediately gobbled it up without a second thought.We absolutely avoid feeding our dogs “Grain-Free” as it’s been determined the most likely factor leading to our little dog developing Chronic Heart Failure per our veterinarian. So with that in mind, we chose the Original Flavor, which is high in protein from free-range poultry and wild-caught fish, plus contains grains like quinoa, oats, and chia, and most importantly no legumes. I haven’t noticed any changes in their digestion or elimination habits and they even seem to have a little more energy in their step! It’s a little pricey, so I am on the fence about completely switching over to it.Mi perrita es un poco exigente para comer, es por ello que con mucha frecuencia he tenido que cambiarle la comida pues después de unos días no la come.... Pero ahora ya lleva un mes comiendo Orijen Amazing Grain y la disfruta cada vez más! En ocasiones después de comer su ración me mira como diciendo "quiero más por favor me das otro poquito?"... Y no les mentire le doy otra porción. Por otra parte he observado como su pelaje ha mejorado notablemente; es más abundante, suave y con brillo! Con respecto a sus heces, son firmes y sin olor. Tanto nos ha gustado que he decido que ahora Orijen Amazing Grain será su nuevo alimentoI started mixing this in with my regular hard kibble for my little chihuahua and she loves it!! She would root around her regular feed to eat this instead and actually eat a good majority through out the day since she is one who will eat small meals all day long. We had no issues with diarrhea and she would wait paitently every morning for me to fill her bowl of food which is odd behavior for her but pleasing to see how excited she would get every morning!! I personally liked the ingredients of this hard kibble compared to her normal brand and with her size and weight this bag lasts her awhile so I am more than happy to completely switch her feed over to this! I also have noticed her bathroom breaks was more solid and the vet said she is maintaining her proper weight so he liked it also as a feed for her!! Thanks for letting us try this product and making my little girl very happy!!This is a very good product but the price is here is too expensiveI normally get it for slightly cheaper in store but due to current events I needed to make sure I got some. It arrived with perfect timing as the last bag finished just an hour before delivery. This brand n flavour is what I’ve raised my dog of 13 years on and he has minimal issues in old age and still puppylike in spirit.Ok do t but if you are used to orijen from the Canadian factory. I bought 2 bags and had to throw both away because the kibble was rock hard and smelt burnt. My dog wouldn’t eat any of this. My dog has been on six fish for a year so I’m pretty sure it’s a quality issue with the Kentucky kitchen. The kibble is visibly harder and smells more burnt and less fishy than what comes from their Canadian kitchens. Total waste of 300 bucks. I’m seriously disappointed and will never buy any orijen made anywhere other than their original kitchen.EL PRODUCTO OBVIAMENTE ES EXCELENTE, PERO LA MANERA EN QUE ESTE SUPUESTO VENDEDOR LO ENVÍA ES VERGONZOZA. SOLAMENTE LA ETIQUETA PEGADA A LA BOLSA SIN IMPORTARLE QUE PUEDA ROMPERSE Y CONTAMINAR EL ALIMENTO. NO RECOMIENDO QUE LE COMPREN. MEJOR MERCADO LIBRE ME LA HA ENVIADO BIEN EMPAQUETADA.We tried I don’t know how many before we found this product. He will actually eat this!! Great, it smells good, it’s the right size for him to chew and the ingredients are good. I will not feed my dog rubbish. He eats what we eat but will often prefer a kibble meal so it works out just fine.
