i have been told to feed 30% less than normal if using orijen

Yes you need to feed less if you're using orijen as it contains 40+% protein and is already alot more nutricious then most of the other dog kibbles.

Just sharing my experience of using Orijen here. I switched my puppy from ANF (fed by petshop) to Orijen and after about one month of using Orijen, I find that my corgi is somehow allergic to either one of the meat in Orijen or it is just allergic to the high protein content.

It started getting worse when I saw that she has a alot of patches in the skin with some hardened yellowish discharge that will make the fur drop off. Something like dandruff, so i decided to switch to another brand in case it gets worse. Not to mention Orijen produces very soft and lumpy stool which makes cleaning up a total chore.

The petshop recommend me a brand called Pinnacle Holistic Trout and Sweet Potatoes and after using it for about a week now, I feel that her skin problems seems to be getting better. Will continue using it and monitor her progress. Anyone tried this brand before?

uh oh, one negative report for orijen. Care to share what breed is your furkid and how much/often you feed him/her?

I dont want to lari to Pet Safari every time I want to purchase dog food neh. If can, I prefer to support local pet store in Klang or some friends like jtl or Seapark Pet Supplies. One of the reason why I go Seapark Pet Supplies is that, if I'm their long time customer, buy everything and even grooming got special price - so that makes me happy.

Ok, just let me research first. One thing I dont really like is those dogfood labelled for all life-stages. I also need to find a brand where I can find in Klang also so I dont have to travel up and down every time I run out.

Wah liao ehhh... Acana got Ajinomoto is it?! Are you serious or not? Regardless, I think I'd give it a try since they are from the same manufacturer as Orijen. Actually, my sis tempted me to get ORijen again. I also want to get Orijen wan but then due to skin disease, I cannot get them for Casper, even if I feed him 30% less. 40% protein is too much for a indoor non-active dog. Even the review in dogfoodanalysis said so.

How's the comment? Why did you change then?

Wah liao eh, not many ppl eat kibbles wan leh. HAhahahaha...

Yea lor... blackwood also so popular. Yea, everyone likes Orijen cause 40% protein, but if dont burn out or convert to muscles, becomes fats.

Wont overweight wan laaaa... just feed him little portion lor.

I felt that Eaglepack is over-rated somehow. It was one of the brand I wanted to purchase most but after my dog didnt like it, I felt like it's no good for me and hence become over-rated. Even non premium dogfood, my dog can finish a 3kg pack but Eaglepack, nearly had to throw away.

Royal Canine and Blackwood are my other options after Acana. Yes, I normally buy from there so I will go kebas some sample pack. Yes, they do and they gave me Evanger before but Casper ALSO dont really like. Good luck with Orijen - shd not be a problem if you play with your dog a lot,

Yeap that is correct.

Added on September 11, 2007, 11:18 pmYes, I had the same skin problem with my West Highland. So I changed his kibbles to Innova and now he is about 1 year of age, I started this topic to help decide on which adult dogfood to go with.

I feed my Westie twice a day, once at 8am and another at 6pm. Orijen is really too much protein for my small dog (weighs 7kg) and then inactive lifestyle with only play indoor.

i changed to eagle pack holistic because solid gold was not available for a long long time last year (until pet safari stocked it)
i have no problems with eagle pack but feel like swithcing back to a 'super premium' brand

Adult vs Puppy Food

Don't be fooled, more often than not the puppy vs adult labeling is a marketing gimmick.

From the same kibble review page we always visit!

Didn't know this before but this seems to be a pretty convincing article on kibble rotation.

i think im gonna go baack to blackwood and use my method like that is mixing some sweet juices into his food la...i like blackwood coz it doesnt make his poo stink and he is also quite healthy looking when eating on it....

acana i think mikey's body don really acept it so his fur dropping more...so after this im gonna change back to BW mostly...

Yes, Pinnacle is a very good brand as well.

I guess afterall, it is to find out a range of good products, and see which SUITS your dog most. Some might find that certain brand brings negative effects to their dogs but some others might realise that it actually improves the dog's condition, same food, different dogs.

So the best bet is, dont ever get low quality dog food, which certainly will bring worst effects; choose only good quality dog food, and find out the best for your dog.

before this Eukanuba and it end up with serious skin problem. Same go to my sis doggy. SO now i change to Bil.Jac, the food smell really nice..

I feed my welsh corgi 3/4 cup for 2 times a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening.

I also find that my welsh corgi started to eat his poo after being on Orijen, maybe he couldnt digest the protein fully so his poo still contains alot of undigested protein. I find that maybe my dog lacks certain digestive enzymes to properly digest the protein because my doctor had given me some digestive enzymes tablets that improves his digestive system for the high protein food as in his stool become harder but the tablets were very expensive, costs about RM4 a tablet so i decided i cant afford to feed him that everyday so just switched his kibbles and now his stool is hard and makes cleaning so much easier.

i see. thanks for the feedback.

My gf also said to me that too much protein will not only turn into fats but someday lead to cancer too... I dunno how to prove her sentence but I believe her cause she studied pharmacy last time.

too much protein will lead to cancer too ?
Frankly too much protein for a indoor-dog really too much
