Orijen's new Red Meat food.

[Luvmypitgirls]

We decided to try Orijen's new red meat food. Omg, my dogs didn't chew they just inhaled this stuff.
I mixed it with the Orijen 6 fish, and they absolutely loved it.
Yep food bills will now be 177.46 every two weeks
I swear they eat better than I do

[BeagleMum]

Ouch, that's quite the food bill!! My two are on the orijen 6 fish as well but I have not tried the red meat one. My dogs aren't usually a red meat fan though so I am not sure if they would like it or not.

[Chaser]

I considered trying it, but it's a lot more than the regular Orijen (at my store at least). I'm worried if they try the red meat they won't be happy with the chicken anymore!

what is the price??

Holy crap ....$177.46 every two weeks? ....how much do you feed them a day?

I haven't fed Orijen for awhile as we switched to Acana Provincial which is a bit cheaper. The last time I looked Orijen (chicken formula) was $66 for a large bag and that would last us feeding a 60lb Sibe and a 95lb Lab for 3 weeks.

I got a couple of sample bags from Global to try, it seemed that Cocoa was getting fed up with Acana Grasslands ....whatever Cocoa eats the others eat.....she wouldn't touch it so I guess it is a no-go.

If it costs that much more it is definately out of the question, I already spend more than I can really afford......sigh

I am gonna try the Chicken, they didn't have any sample bags to let me try...one of the problems I think is, 'cos she started being a brat about it, I was cooking beef and liver and putting that on their food instead of canned, I guess she prefers that to canned

Breeze - I didn't read the ingredients....I leave that to you guys ....but pork and fish ain't too red to me

[ancientgirl]

That's a lot! But I can't say much, since I spend about $100 a month for my gang's food. I know they eat way better than I do.

LOL ....well I guess the salmon could pass as a red meat if it's sockeye but the others are def white in my books.

We've been using the Acana Provincial chicken and/or fish formulas and the boys like both. Maybe you need to cook some chicken and put that on top of Cocoa's food.

I was just about to try the red meat one, when the store owner mentioned it has chicken!

WHY does 95% of the dog stuff have chicken? Poor Scruffles....sniff sniff.. what a thing to be allergic to.
But yes,the dogs DO eat better than us. Many times I've caught Scruff begging for a taste of what I'm eating, and I tell him, no it's not good for puppies. THen I think, if it's not good for him, what the heck am I doing eating it??? sigh...

[rainbow]

Salmon ain't Red, it's Salmon

I'm going to Global today and she was going to get some of the Chicken in, in sample bags for Cocoa to try, so we shall see.....Betty Crocker and her bright ideas ....as it happens she has beef and liver on the menu tonight

So why don't you stop and buy some fresh chicken so you don't have to give her the beef & liver?

I'm not just feeding my own, I have two extra mouths to feed at the moment, but I can't really be saying that too loud....(living under the radar)

rainbow,
thanks for posting that ingredients list! I guess I could have checked, but I'm finding labels harder to read lately if I don't bring my granny glasses. NO I'm not getting old, they're just printing things smaller, damm whippersnappers!lol.

Ok no chicken,that works! I've been giving Scruff Acana grasslands, but I like the herbals in the Orijen. Good to know we have options.

OH sorry that includes their treats as well.
I'm feeding 5 dogs at the moment, I go thru a lot more food at the moment.

Plus when I buy my food every two weeks, I also buy them lamb fillet and bison liver fillets (dehydrated treats). I am having difficulty finding cookies that Abby can eat without turning her belly all red.
