Any one tried this food and how do you rate compared to other brands like royal canin cheers
http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product_group.asp?dept_id=793&pg_id=846

well ive ordered the 2.5kg just to try it out its only a few quid more than the royal canin so ill just see how it goes

I haven't a clue, some people here can break down foods very well. Moo is on Royal Canin and I swear by it. I hope it works, to be honest as long as the dogs energetic, shiney coat, bright eyes then all is great. Make sure you swap over the foods slowly though mixing with the other food bit by bit gradually x

Well he's on the royal canin now but im sure he's not 100% liking it as he will eat it eventually if theres nothing else offered to him, but if i take him round to my freinds he goes nuts for his dogs food which is iams and wolfs the whole bowl in seconds so im just gona try a different food which sounds just as good as royal canin just to see if he likes it more

Hope it works, do swap it over gradually though. Its important, well obviously, to find a food the dog likes. Is it wet or dry??

I no about changing the food gradually, its dry and packed full of good stuff as far as i can see follow this link to read the nutritional goodness and ingrediants sounds good enough to eat my self haha

well it only cost's a few quid more then what im paying now for the royal canin so its worth a try just to see how it goes and cheers for the link ill make sure to try one or two more off the list if he isnt keen on the orijen

I get mine over the net, royal canin that is, works out way cheaper

yeah me too plus some places give you free delivery aswell but to be honest it proberly costs me what the delivery does in petrol jus to go buy the food anyway so its a win win situation really

I can imagine (I can't drive but hear about the prices) and being delivered saves us from carrying it lol

Orijen is a fantastic food, though very high in protein so your dog will have lots of energy! It is all natural and contains no artificially manufactured vitamins and minerals, they come from natural sources. All the meat they use is human grade (so no feet, eyeballs or connective tissue for pooch's tea), it is a very good complete food I would rate it over royal canin.

However some dogs just dont suit it and their digestive system wont adjuts to it, so if after a very gradual change your dog has the runs or bad wind then I would consider switching back. Another good thing about Orijen is that you dont have to feed as much, therefore what comes out the other end is smaller and easier to clear up

Have you looked at Pero? They also do one specifically for the Staff. We have gradually put our little Nala on the pero puppy, if you ge tthe trial you get some free organic treats too! She seems to like it and her coat is looking amazingly shiny! It's really reasonable in comparison with the other brands and super quick delivery.

CMT thats what i like support your local companys being from wales and all lol
iv had memphis on pero for about 3/4 months now and he looking great on it im slowely putting him over to the staffy spacific at the moment as they advice that at 20 kg not age .
the breed spacific even seems better quality (hard to beleive)so all good and as said is really resanable in price and you also dont have to feed a great amount either

Nerver tried Pero but have heard great things!

fyi

there delivery is so so good iv ordered it at 7pm to be knocked out ov bed at 7am next morning and it free so all good

sounds good if he doesnt take to the orijen ill give pero ago cheers

Yes delivery is great, plus if you cheat and buy the trial packs you get free organic treats which is always a bonus with toilet training!

untill recently you would get a 5 pounds voucher off your next purchase so it was actully a free sample with dog treats

No way - I missed that one, in fact the puppy food has gone up by 95 pence since I bought the first lot! Treats are good to slot into Kongs too.

just a quick question about the pero staffy specific one, marley is 9months and just shy of 20kg would it be to early for the food or should i just get the pero puppy?

memphis is also 9 months and he now on the staffy adult food checked with my vet she looked at the break down ov the food and she said he will be perfectly fine being on it as it still has anought ov the minirals and vits they need for growth.
plus the kibble isnt to large and his stools have greatly reduced and nice and firm(the things we talk about)lol

ok cheers just what i wanted to know i was gona start a thread with your name on it to ask you a question seeing as the private messages have been disabled cheers again and i think ill order some now

I give Orijen to my dog I think it is one of the best dog food available in the market My dogs are healthy and active few days back I also read an article say orijen is among the to 5 dog food in 2012.

We give Orijen to our cats on nutritional advice, we were feeding them go cat before that - ignorance is the only excuse I have for that lol
As a previous post said, it is all high quality and no added rubbish, it is great and they love it, plus because it is so high in protein they eat less of it so it doesn't work out much more expensive.
We haven't used it for Tinsel yet as we have a food manufactured in our area that is just as good but not quite as expensive, and as with our own food we like to buy local if we can

I switched mine from a cheap brand over to Orijen and the difference was noticeable.
His scratching and itching stopped completely, and his stools became a lot smaller and harder, and were only delivered once a day as opposed to multiple times.
There's little filler in Orijen, so portion size can be reduced while still meeting calorific requirements (protein supply is also high).
I get mine direct from the importer - arrives by courier on free delivery the next day.

After researching thoroughly about Orijen, I've decided that I'm going to give it a go as it contains 'ingredient ratio of 80% meat, 20% fruit and vegetables, and 0% grain'(as listed on the website), compared to the 24/25% that Wainwrights has (which is what Zeus is on right now). Yes, its considerably expensive than Wainwrights but apparantly because of the rich protein content, you don't have to feed as much. Zeus does tend to scratch/itch alot and I've read reviews which say that this food stopped that. Will keep you all informed!

my question is.. which do i buy orijen puppy or orijen puppy large?

http://www.orijenpetfoods.co.uk/acatalog/orijen_puppy.html

I'd just go for the normal puppy as the large is made for large breed dogs I think?

Orijen is one of the best, if not the best dry dog food IMO

I swear by ORIJEN PUPPY food, it's 80% Human grade meat, expensive but one of the best kibble (dry foods) on the market, SKYE won't eat anything less

Looking at your pic has definatly persuaded me to go for orijen now, skye's coat looks brilliant, nice and shiny, and she looks very healthy too!

can you confirm if you feed Skye normal orijen puppy food or orijen large breed puppy food?

Feed on normal Orijen Puppy, don't use the large breed version. I also use YUMEGA PLUS, great for the coat, ears and skin all the best X

I love Orijen, but then I live only 2 hrs from the plant that makes it, so it is readily available here in all the stores. Champion Pet Foods in Morinville Alberta also makes Acana, another high end kibble that many dogs do very well on. Both brands have several choices in type of meat depending on what your dog might do better on--one type mostly chicken, another beef, another fish and then a wild meats version with venison and bison. I don't know how many kinds are exported, but I am grateful to live near the producer!
