Is this a good food to be feeding them? The ingredients sound so good but I supposed that can be misleading... Does anyone else feel their yorkies this food? or it there a better one I should know about?

I think Orijen is one of the best foods out there!! Ingredient lists can be misleading, but IMO Orijen is definitely a wonderful food, and great to be feeding.

I currently don't feed Orijen, but I would anyday. When we're finished with our bag of EVO & Instinct, I'm going to make the switch. There isn't a better food you need to know about.

Yes, its a high quality food.

Laurn7f · 07-07-2009, 03:24 AM

To give you reference....Orijen is a 6 star food, and Beneful is like a 1 or 2

Mya loves her Orijen, and she is a picky picky eater!

Thanks for all your feed back! I will definitely continue to feed it to them!

I agree - a great food! I really like the company as well.

Is it okay to give them that high of protein, I thought I read somewhere that it's way too high for Yorkies. Shouldn't go any higher than 32-36% protein factor.

I think that as long as their liver and kidney function is normal it should be fine. There are quite a few yorkie owners on here that feed orijen and other higher protein foods with no problem. It is a really good food.

Although we currently don't fee Orijen, it is an awesome and high quality food. I really like that you also have a grain free option. Another great thing about it, is that it is often easy to find at many pet stores!

I use Nutro Hollistic Puppy right now because that's what the breeder started Kimbo on. I plan on making the switch to Orijen slowly once we get to the end of our current bag. (That may be in a few months!) I use this website to read dog food reviews. Origin is one of the few at the top with 6 stars! Dog Food Reviews - Main Index - Powered by ReviewPost

I agree. Orijen is one of the best out there. Mine wouldn't eat it, but I haven't tried them on it in a very long time.

dlross · 07-08-2009, 12:45 PM

Orijen has a new food out that is less in the protein factors it call ACANA grain free, my girls tried it last nite for the 1st time and love it. I did put a new thread in about it and the website, anyhooo the website is Champion Petfoods | Home type the name ACANA, all ingredients are from Alberta Canada.

It's a great food! If you pups do well on it then keep it up

I recently discovered Orijen (like yesterday) and after extensive research, and reviews, I have decided to try it, today will be day one. I'll let you know how it goes.

Dooie is 5 years old now and has just started to act sort of lathargic lately, so I hope this change will cheer him up

Happy Stampeding!!
