just realised the zooplus site has feeding reccomendations on there. Jarvis should need between 200-250g so a bag'll last 54 days according to my calculator. :shades: Lucy only eats about a handful a day so i could feed her caviar and probably not notice much of a higher price!

I have been feeding Ruby orijen for 2 weeks now, and she loves it! :D She is only eating half the daily reccomended(sp) amount though. She is gaining weight nicely, has a nice glossy coat and isn't as mad as she was before (12 week old puppy though, so she might just have settled in). As I said, she should be eating 240g a day but she is only having 120g and seems fine. The vet was very pleased with her too, so i'm glad I bought it now  :D

I used to feed Orijen Senior to two of our dogs and they did very well on it. Unfortunately I had to change to a lower protein as one of our dogs was diagnosed with kidney disease. But I would definitely full recommend Orijen. Dylan is now on Timberwolf, which is a very similar (grain-free) food as Orijen, but the protein is lower.
