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?

QUOTE(madmoz @ Sep 11 2007, 11:15 PM) uh oh, one negative report for orijen. Care to share what breed is your furkid and how much/often you feed him/her? 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 hope nobody here is spending SO much to feed CRAP food like royal canin to their dogs.
It's ridiculous to charge that price when you look at their extremely LOW quality ingredients.

QUOTE(Pennywise @ Sep 23 2007, 07:32 AM) I just started the transition to Acana, so far Casper seems to like the smell and taste a lot. He will quickly finish his food. Based on dogfoodanalysis, the contents from Acana is not that great and some are quite negative - now already thinking of a new brand even when I just started opening this pack. Maybe next time, I will give either Innova, Evanger or Canidae a try. Apparently, from a couple of reviews I read, it seems to be that dogfoodanalysis.com is quite biased. For example, when Acana include chicken fat - it will write about "Research in Purdue University say chicken fat this and that" but it didnt write that for Canidae (i think) when they uses that. It's the same damn thing!! I think they did write the same thing for Canidae as well. Check it out here: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_re...oduct=2&cat=allI may also start my dog on Canidae soon because I think he is losing interest in Pinnacle. |
