Great thread here with good contributions.

I have a 5 month old golden, Hazel (she just appeared in the Star "dog loves camera" contest - mini celebrity now!) who has been on Orijen large breed puppy since coming home to us 3 months ago.

I feed her about 400g a day (split into 2 times), problem is... she has runny stools just like how karwaidotnet mentioned similar symptoms in his dog in the beginning of this thread. Not a machinegun pooper, 3 times a day but sometimes runny, sometimes firm ---> I'll reduce amount of food from today onwards to see if it helps. She's not thin or fat at the moment so maybe slightly reduced food should be fine. She gains about 1.5 - 2kgkg a week and currently weighs 19? or 20? no idea coz I've not weighed her for a month.

Another problem is rash on her elbows, legs, and chest... they come and go. Not too sure if she's allergic to her food since it's been there and gets worse sometimes, but better at other times. Thing is my old shihtzu, Pecan, had allergies to ALL kinds of meat except lamb, and I'm suspecting that Hazel is allergic to some form of meat - Orijen contains 10 protein sources and that's not helping.

My question is, how much is Go! and Canidae compared to Orijen? Cost of orijen is burning a small hole in my pocket but if it's not working out for Hazel, then I'll have to look elsewhere.

Again, this is a great thread and Divaz, I'll drop by your shop some day since I live so near
