Orijen - Tried It And Loved It!

[nellybly10]

Hi everyone

I just wanted to let anyone know who is thinking about trying the new kibble Orijen to definitely give it a go. We used to feed Nutro and had to find a replacement now that it is no longer available in Australia. Nutro was the only kibble my fussy bitch would eat (we tried about 5 or 6 other premium brands but she wouldnt touch them) and even Nutro she would only pick at occasionally.

We tried Orijen and to my surprise she ate it as soon as I put it in their bowls, without any meat! This is a first for her so the palatability is excellent! I can't report on condition as yet as we have only just started giving it but for those who have fussy eaters I can definitely recommend it.

Cheers

Janelle

Is it the adult one?

I'm in the same boat.used to feed Nutro lamb and rice but I started selling Orijen so thought I'd trial it.Dogs love it,less shedding than on Nutro and smells really fresh.

It's the Adult one

I sold a bag to a guy who used to use DVP,he said while changing over to Orijen (mixing the 2 )his dogs picked the orijen out and ate it and left the DVP behind

I am not sure what is helping my boy's condition at the moment - the food or supplements but his coat is getting thicker and softer (was previously like straw to touch) and he loves it. I agree the smell is so fresh, nothing like other biscuits I have had him on previously.

Yes I gave the adult one, and when I tried it the first time I didnt mix with the Nutro (as it was just a taste test) and they just loved it. They also have it for cats so I might switch all animals over to it

The only thing is it is quite a bit more expensive, $120 for 13.5kg where Nutro Lamb and Rice was around $90 for 15kg, but I havent compared how much to give each day yet as I am still finished off the Nutro so will have to work this out, either way I'm happy to pay more if my bitch's condition improves due to her actually eating it!

I've actually cut my shepherds back a fait bit,probably by about 3/4 cup a day compared to the Nutro so if you worked it out over a bag it would work out much the same $ wise.

One of my girls coat has softened up a fair bit too but I have been adding Healthy Paws Skin supplement as well

Could I ask 4Paws what that supplement contains and if you stock Biotin at all?
