Christine_72 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Would any of you feed Orijen dog food if it became available here again? I don't want to say too much in case i jinx it, but keep your eyes peeled toward the end of January next year on Mypetwarehouse and Budgetpetproducts. Also,there will be no irradiation this time!

Danois Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 There was never any product safety issue with the product for dogs. The issue was about the irridated cat food. It was then a high quality product and I fed it, and would feed it again. And I had a cat affected by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danois Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 You need a carb source to bind the product together in manufacturing. Without it it is just crumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be feeding the puppy version, it is an ALS food, and i think the less carbs dogs get, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try 6 fish next. I only feed a small amount of kibble, 35/65- Kibble/raw. So a 2kg bag will last a while, for $54 it would want to!

PANDI-GIRL Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Lucky he likes the flavor , How did Nugget go eating Frontier pets, do you use that food sometimes, I tried Pandi on Pete Evans healthy everyday pet kibble, WOW she had the worst sore bottom & scooting I expressed the glands & kept bathing with a warm compress, I'm not going to try any more new rich food on her it never ENDS well! I'm keeping Pandi on Frontier pets & Stay Loyal with my own added extras of egg, tin fish, veggies, leftover meat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PANDI-GIRL Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hey @Christine_72 do you think we are to Swayed by fabulous marketing , into trying so many new foods, I know it's lots of fun, like shopping, BUT maybe not the best for dogs like mine who don't seem to handle eating so many different mixtures , I'm sure some dogs do well eating all of the new foods, What do you think? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugget does fine swapping and changing, he never gets the same meal/protein twice in a row. I think i get more bored than he does lol And yes, you are right, shopping for them is fun, and i admit i have a dog/food spending addiction I tried the Pet Evans food, he liked it and did well. I did try Frontier pets, but i swapped to Big Dog little bites freeze dried that i can buy from my local petstock. He really loves these, much more than Frontier pets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PANDI-GIRL Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 @crazydoglady99 Hi what do you think of the Orijen 6 fish recipe, the fact it doesn't need lots of vitamins & minerals added must be a bonus Love to know your views on Orijen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagittarian Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Won't feed it, won't stock it. Nothing against the ingredients. Having sold it in volume last time, we had staff and customers who lost their cats. It would be a breach of trust to our customers for us to sell it again, regardless of its current status. As an aside, am absolutely stunned at the price. Sags 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PANDI-GIRL Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Does anyone else think it's very strange, on a dog forum, to be censored talking about the pros & cons of different food brands? Clearly, something has happened with crazydoglady99, she won't even talk on PM with me, is this forum run by the dog food mafia? Sags might be stunned at the price of Orijen, I'm stunned by the mafia attitude on this forum, NOBODY wants to chat anymore! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Dog feeding brings out passionate views, it’s weird but it is right up there in the topics people hold uncompromising and extreme views on. I don’t know what attention crazydoglady99 got but I am absolutely certain it has nothing to do with forum censorship or ownership, unless of course she was breaking forum rules in which case it was appropriate. As for no one wanting to discuss, this is a much quieter place than it used to be because a lot of activity has moved to fb. If no one responds to you they just aren’t interested in doing so. I know I have less than zero interest in yet another discussion of what to feed dogs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had lost a pet I would be pretty sad to see it back on shelves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
