I fed my toy poodle with orijen 6 fish for 6 months. So far so good, but I think he is bored with the foods.

I'm thinking to change the foods.

1) from dog food analysis, orijen is best brand with quality ingredients. The protein content is very high, 40% they said not suitable for toy poodle which is small breed dog. Is this true?  If possible, I'm thinking to stick with the brand but maybe change to chicken? Orijen puppy? Is it for small breed type?

2) change to lower protein content. I have found one, Artemis brand fresh mix for adult small breed which I think is quite good. Not as good as orijen, but the protein content is lower, maybe more suitable for toy poodle? This is with grain.. But good grain. Orijen is grain free which is better. Anyone know where to get Artemis? So far I checked big ones like petsmore and petslover no sell. I'm from selangor. Know where to get Artemis?

3) what u think acana vs Artemis for toy poodle? Acana is lower protein content about 33%. Ingredients lost to orijen maybe better than Artemis?

4) any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hope to get feedback ASAP cause I'm thinking to get new pet foods for my toy poodle tonight as he doesn't eat the current orijen 6 fish kibble anymore. Now feeding him with chicken meat.

Thanks.

why not try to apply protein rotation? Like you buy Orijen 6fish 1 bag, feed until almost finish dy u buy Orijen other series like the poultry+fish+lamb... Or maybe can alternate in between acana ( orijen's sister brand) too. at least u know the quality assured

Hi all, just want to ask if Orijen 6 fish cause smelly poo? How about Acana, since the ingredient is slightly different from Orijen. Thanks

I think it varies on different dogs. Mine,
Dog 1, 4 months: Orijen Puppy- poop very nice and solid, no issue with the smell
Dog 2, adult but dunno how old, picked up from roadside: Orijen 6 Fish- poop very firm and nice, no issue with smell
Dog 3, adult, abandoned by previous owner: Arden Grange Ocean White Fish- tried to give it Orijen 6 Fish but it has soft stool, not watery, just soft stool that is difficult to pick up.. Do well on Arden Grange.
