Acana smell exactly like Orijen - the smell is very strong!

i think just dun bother about the review, if afford feed better food(Orijen, CN,Innova...). If not, feed average food loh(BW, Eukanoba, BilJac,....).If ur pup is ok with it, then ok loh, if not change loh..........
Not everytime expensive means good mah.........

after u got a puppy then talk lah, haha...........
and i can 99% sure the 1st pack u buy is not orijen. Coz the 1st pack u need to buy is the kibbles which the puppy is taking before u can change to Orijen slowly. And i can assure that most of them(not all) are not feeding Orijen. 

Kibbles= DRY DOG FOOD!  Like orijen, blackwood,eagle pack...

KIBBLEs= DRY DOG FOOD!!!!!!

U get the idea yet!? hahahah!

YEs u only need to feed orijen puppy for ur pup!
REgarding the changing of food when u get ur pup, u can request to ur seller to give u the food its eatting.. u only needed 5days current food. I also request my breeder to give me the food my hugo currently consuming now. See ur seller stingy anot lar. hahah!

Then after 5days of mixing two brands of food together, u can feed it fully orijen! Not really 5 days.. 4days also can!

orijen puppy large is for large breed puppies, not a puppy that is larger
orijen puppy(as with any puppy food) you can use for up to one year...

not too sure if i've seen it sold here though, orijen adult price you can pm white palace

U'll have to see ur ms can eat solid kibbles already anot. Normally 2mths knows how to eat solid food already.
If can of coz no need to mix with water. For 2 mths old pup, Feed it orijen puppy yes. When Ur ms reached 1yrs old u Hav to change it to Orijen ADULT.
U DUN have to feed orijen puppy large! U think ur ms is standard miniature schnauzer ar? LOL!

Oh yes, U need to gradually upgrade the current food with orijen.

First day- 1/4 of orijen, current food 3/4

third-fourth day- 2/4 of orijen, current food 2/4

Juz a guideline to help u understand.

Got the idea?

i fed them solid gold puppy when they were younger.

Im gona feed hugo Orijen of coz. I want to giv my dog the best.

2.5kg orijen can last them 2mths or less.

Yes Usually a 2mths+ can eat solid kibbles already. But there's exceptional. See the pup itself. Even human babies doesnt eat solid food on time recommanded wat.

5 days can la.. no need 1 week.. u want 1 week also can. as u like.

Wad will happen if straight away change to orijen? Then lai sai lor. Cant digest well lor. Cant absorb the nutrience fully...

If the breeder kiam siap how? U say lei.. of coz need to buy.. Buy small pack can ler.. But im sure the breeder will give alittle bit de lar.. haha u deal busines with him/her mah..

Added on September 19, 2007, 8:45 pmI bought my orijen puppy for Rm42.

if ur from ipoh, u can get orijen 2.5kgs for rm40.

Can last for aPProximatly 2mths or "less"..
Feed 3times a day when 2mths-5mths.. Morning 9am, Noon 2Pm, then night 7Pm. The timing u Plan la.. Juz a guideline for u.
5mths + can feed 2times a day. Morning and evening 7Pm.
How much to be given, U can use a rice cuP to measure the amount. The back of orijen will be stated to let u know how old to feed how much. But these kinda thing, u as the owner wil have to agar agar becoz every PuP's aPPitite is not the same. Or u can give it all it can eat in 3mins(if its a fast eater) or all it can eat in 5mins(if its a slow eater)
Yang teach 1.

If u feed orijen, theres no need to giv fish oil.
Orijen is already filled with omega 3 and omega 6 and Flax seed oil.
Dun give too much already becoz too much of a good thing is not good at all.
Can give treats like carrots, aPPles ( not citrus and seeds not to be consume), Any kind of veges..
And of coz.. Giv little tiny winy only. They cant digest if given large Portion. Juz a bite to let them sastified.

i blend those vege into puree..
easier and cleaner..
sometimes they eat vege sticks untill whole mouth tainted..i headache lor..

u guys can try, let them hv as desserts. i guess a lil bit vege other than wat is contained in kibbles are good for dogs. at least they get something fresh..

zeist,
It's called Orijen, not Orijin. I read Orijin, sounds like original. I couldnt quite make out your sentence in the first few post. Haha... Is this your first time having a pup? Allow me to share my experience.

First few months when the pup arrived at your place, feed it three times a day. 8am, 1pm, 6pm in little portion - those chinese soup spoon 2x full is enough. Your pup will poo a lot, each time after food. This is good, show the pup got healthy digestive system.

When the pup gets older 5 - 6 months, you can start giving more. 8am and 6pm is my feeding time.

Many other dog food, you can feed like 1/2 a 8oz cup. But Orijen, you feed 1/3 of the cup can already! Sort of like 20% less than what you would feed if it was some other brand.

The proper way to change your dogfood from one brand to another is done in a span of 5 - 7 days, to your preferences and believes.

Day 1 and 2 = 3/4 old food + 1/4 new food
Day 3 and 4 = 1/2 old food + 1/2 new food
Day 5 and 6 = 1/4 old food + 3/4 new food
Day 7 start = 100% new food

Some people just start with the new food like that if they know their pup do not have sensitive stomach. Suddenly change like this may cause SOME pup to diarrhea but over 2 - 3 days, it will be fine also. Just need to settle and get use to it. But due to the fact that a diarrhea can be messy and hazardous to health, people prefer the approach above.

Remember that Orijen is 40% protein which CAN be too much for your pup if you dont bring him out to run about often. Those protein turning into fats at such young age isnt exactly healthy so watch it with the amount you feed ok? Good luck with your new pup, dude!

That's a lot of work but I wish you all the best... I also want to give Casper the best, Orijen but then worry he cannot digest everything properly and too heaty for him will give him all those rashes again. So, I better stick with those with 24 - 28% protein types.

Actually all other brands are around 24 - 28% of protein. In the market, if I'm not mistaken, only Orijen and Evo is 40% protein.

i think after u take orijen, your pup won like BW coz BW has less smell and taste than orijen la..lol...

and don change your pup's food brand too often as they might not be able to adapt well to the new food diet...

during the 1st few months as essential la and yes u have to feed your pup 4 times a day de...but then like my puppy la...he don get much exercise so i only feed him 2 times a day dy coz he jus won eat his lunch, so i only gv him breakfast and dinner...

zeist- Other then fruits and veges, U can buy puppy's treat biscuits. Dont get those meaty types, Those u saw got chicken bacon or lamb sticks.. Coz there are ingredients which are not good for ur dog, Get Holistic biscuits type, Like nutro puppy biscuit.. and more la.. eukanuba puppy biscuits ..

The best part of orijen puppy food is that u dun have to choose! Theres no chicken, lamb, beef or vegeterian.

All the nuritients are combined in a single puppy food. No need to choose. Juz get the orijen puppy, and when it grows Change to adult. Thats so easy and simple instead of getting headache choosing which flavours.

Dont feed beef. Beef can attract ticks/fleas to ur dog.

U will be impressed. Its included with norwegian whitefish! 1st ingredient is Chicken MEAT! Instead of meal or by-products.
