Im using Orijen Adult Formula for both of my dogs and im loving it, i'll switch to senior for my old dog when they eat all the bag but after almost 3 weeks i see positive results on both.

Here some info i found, Orijen is rated as 6 stars dry food:

But dont you think the protein level is high for old dogs?:confused: thats the only reason i didt buy it for my old dog. otherwise i would have tryed it.

[PirbulBongo]

I bought it for the protein %, if you ever feed BARF you were giving your dog much more than 40-42% protein on this diet, i just regulate the ration on both, pup is active and has 3 hours hand walking every day so he get a little more than normal ration, old dog is recovering from accident so i give him little less than normal ration (inactive dogs).

I have to say my old dog doesnt like any dry food tho, have tried many (nutro, euknuba, hills, everything...) and he likes only Luposan and Orijen. I didnt like Luposan... tried it but too much poop too often, when i bought orijen for my pup Bongo (old dog) liked it! So same dry food for both till the bag is empty then getting senior for him.

I add 3 times a week, 50g atum in conserves(sp), olive oil, 1 boiled egg, apple vinager after last walking. Thats what i keep from BARF diet.

Results are, good shape and energy levels on pup, and my old dog that cannot move is not TOO fat, just gotta give the right ration of food for their activity with good foods.

Wow, looks great. I bet it's expensive though, isn't it?

Shady your killing me here LOL. I just went out and bought a huge bag of Timberwolf. Don't you dare switch foods on me now !

LOL good luck with the feed change, let me know how it goes.

A 60€ bag lasts 30 days including both of my dogs, the rations with this food are a little less than with other dry food, so are the bag weights tho (at least from what i know) but where i live is the best food out there imo, worths the price/quality if you own just a couple dogs and not a yard and the more important for me... my old dog likes it!

:D

Looks decent, I've heard of it before, but know no one feeding it. Whats the pricing?

[maximusflys]

The only thing I don't care for is that the fat % is a little too low for me.
