Just ordered some Orijen...

[cazza]

Presumably the high protein and based on the survey, Orijen won't be suitable for Heidi at 8 months old? I've only bought the adult at the moment

What do you think?

Jenny I think (my opinion) that only you will know whether to try something or not - and if you try and it suits your dog then great if not then you have to look for something else  Sorry that's not much help really is it 

(Also my opinion) - people who feed BARF are feeding a high protein, altho they also (I think) add in veggies as well to get the other nutrients

[Cazzie]

And there we have a whole new topic "Feeding dogs veg" apparantly they cant digest it properly and dont need it    Note to self stop reading 

[tiamaria]

Why is it the more you read and learn the more confusing something gets? 

[bibathediva]

Ive put Lola on it Jenny..although she is 10 months  ..she has been on adult food for a while and from what i have read it seems to be large breed dogs (pups) that have more problems if on a high protein diet...but has tiamaria said the more you read the more confusing it gets 
also agree with cazza that i think a BARF diet is high in protein ...my vet told me that high protein is not bad for them as long as it is good quality protein  ...but only you know what is best for Heidi 
Have to say it went down a storm with my 2 and i did notice Lolas poos were a lot smaller this morning  ...even on burns she was doing a large quantity for a little dog

A lot of head scratching going on!  The AG puppy says high in protein. Royal canine puppy doesnt have a good recommendation either, which is what the puppy will come to me fed on. I suppose both foods are better than what i started feeding Charley on *Bakers* and i thought i was doing good!  so i feel either food will be better.

I think with all foods you just have to run with it, its like us humans what one person can eat, another can't, trial and error really. We have foods we can't tolerate and I think our dogs are the same.

Coco was OK on burns to start off with, then he constantly had an upset tummy, so I put him of AG at first he was OK, but then I had a similar problem, so he's being barf feed and so far so good.

Going to run with it for a while, my order has apparently been despatched so hopefully will get it in the next day or two.

agree with you here - every human and every dog can tolerate different foods 

Good luck to all trying Orijen - I'll be really interested on how each dog gets on with it

Hi

I get Orijen for all my dogs - worked wonders for my overweight girl.

I'm so glad I came accross it

Get mine from catanddogtreats.co.uk

[bibathediva]

 Had a look at catanddogtreats.co.uk ...orijen is quite a bit on there than zooplus...theres about £3.00 difference in the 2.5kg bag   
Might be worth looking at zooplus MollyR

I am hoping it will help my Daisy loose a bit of weight too, has your girl lost much weight by using Orijen?

[MollyR]

She has lost 3 kg - very overweight after her 2nd litter and then being spayed. Now she is much more active and back to her old self.

[MollyR]

Forgot to say - they didn't have the size I wanted at Zoo Plus and I often have to wait for delivery. My local petshop is going to stock soon so that will make life easier!!

Im hoping it will do something for Biba as she needs to lose about a kilo and everything else i have tried has failed

Im also going to ask my local petshop if they would consider stocking it as they sell burns/arden grange and all the other decent ones...would make life a lot easier if they did

That is impressive, hope it does the same for Jasper, its taken forver to get 1kg off him
