ORIJEN Six Fish Dry Dog Food, Grain Free and Chicken Free Dog Food, Fresh or Raw Ingredients, 4.5lb

My dogs LOVE this kibble! They are 3 and 4 years old. One of my dogs is grain sensitive and used to have non-stop rashes and itchy skin (and diarrhoea and gas with corn based products before I knew better - dogs can't digest corn, yet many brands contain it because it is a cheap by-product) Since I switched to the diet outlined below they haven't had a day sick, a single tummy upset or a skin rash. Previously, I also struggled with them being a bit too heavy. I didn't want to cut them down any more because they were always SO hungry. Since switching to the diet outlined below, I have no problem maintaining thier weight and they are no longer hungry between meals. I rotate my dogs through the various flavors. My vet said that it is best not to rely on one protein source as dogs may get food sensitivities and/or bored with it. I used to buy the Orijen Arcana but don't anymore because it is lower protein. I give my dogs fresh produce (fresh raw chopped vegetables once a day, and tiny quantities of fruit (I always check what dogs can and cannot have before giving them any produce) so they don't need the higher percentage of dried fruit and vegetables included the Arcana kibble. My vet recommended this to help fill them up and it works. I also mix this kibble with Primal raw frozen nuggets (also alternating the Primal proteins each time I buy a bag) so they get raw meat with every meal, and they get one raw meaty bone each week (I buy the Primal bones from Pet Club). I felt weird about giving them dry kibble alone as that might be convenient for us, but I feel that it would be like us eating protein/energy type bars for every meal. I strongly feel that dogs (and humans) need fresh, raw ingredients too. I also give my dogs a spoonful of lactose free (a lot of dogs can't digest lactose) plain yogurt with one meal a day. One of my rescues came to me with a yeast infection due to the gross diet (you don't want to know) she was subjected to, at the very shonky "rescue" place. Our vet put her on a couple of courses of probiotics and recommended I give her yogurt each day to cure the infection. They both loved it so I saw no reason to stop. The probiotics and calcium can only be a good thing in my opinion, and if I run out they sit by thier bowls waiting after they eat, 'cause they know its missing! For treats I give them Canidae Grain Free dog treats as they are very low calorie, small, firm, chewy treats that can be put in your pocket without them disintegrating during a walk or training. It took me a lot of time to sort out what worked best for us. I am not an expert, but my dogs love their food and my vet says that they are in perfect health and at the perfect weight, and that their diet couldn't be better, so perhaps this info might help someone put together a complete diet for their dog. Here is what I feed them twice a day: All dogs are different, but my 18lb dog (who was a slightly overweight 21lb dog before this diet) gets: - 1/4 cup Orijen kibble twice a day. -1 thawed primal meat nugget twice a day. I rotate through the various Primal Frozen meat nuggets. You can also buy these freeze dried and reconstitute them with water but I much prefer giving them the raw primal nuggets (I put 4 in a pyrex container in the fridge each night and they are defrosted enough for the next day) In the morning I add a spoonful of plain lactose-free yogurt to thier dishes. And in the evening I add about 1/4 cup produce instead of the yogurt. Generally a mix of two items - either chopped green beans, cucumber, broccoli, carrots, cooked squash (I use canned organic non-sweetened, plain - beware pie pumpkin with spices) red, yellow, green peppers, a little romaine, other leafy greens - sometimes a couple blueberries, pieces of apple, orange, pineapple, melon etc. My 11lb dog gets exactly the same except she gets a bit less than half of of the kibble that I give 18lb dog at each meal. Once a week I give them their dinner minus the primal frozen nugget and then give them a raw meaty lamb or beef bone or marrow bone (Primal brand) which they gnaw on for hours. It helps clean their teeth too. I also keep a couple of cans of sardines in the cupboard for when I run out of the primal frozen nuggets or forget to defrost them, or simply as a way of alternating their diet. I simply add one sardine each to the kibble. Sardines are excellent for dogs and my dogs love them! Be sure to purchase the ones packed in spring water with NO salt added (grab a couple when they are on sale) I also occasionally give them a raw egg which they also love. They love that too. Sometimes if I see a pack of 50% off meat at the store, I will give them some diced raw beef or lamb with their kibble (I chop it and freeze it in meal sized portions to alternate with the kibble. Hope this info is of use to someone. If so, please click "helpful" as I spend a lot of time on my reviews hoping to perhaps help someone, and I also believe in supporting great products! I am happy to answer any questions. I couldn't be happier with the quality of this kibble.

J'ai un American Bully Pocket size de 60 lbs à la maison. Il mangeais du cru (moins attrayant pour lui) et j'ai voulu changé pour cette nourriture, il l'attend littéralement. Il l'adore !!! Il va garder son poids aussi, beaucoup de protéines. Je recommande.

Love this dog food. So do my two boys. The food despite being EXPENSIVE, is in my opinion, the best dog food on the market. I like to always feed fish based food, it just seems to be the only food that doesn't have chicken meal in it, I found this about a year ago and have been feeding it to my boys ever since thier coats look amazing and they are lean and healthy 65lbs dogs. At first is was like "holy crap" the amount I'd have to feed them but I only have to give them a little more than 2 cups each daily! So I can get a large bag to last about 2ish weeks. Our pets are our family i think they should eat good and this food does not disappoint. I get compliments all the time on how beautiful they look. If your unsure i hope this helps you decide.

このフードは食い付きが良く、良く食べる。

Excellent dog food! My dog has a serious chicken allergy, so we wanted something that would be very sensitive to her allergy. This food is a wonderful cost to value ratio. It is extremely clean, too, as it doesn't have a ton of fillers like most other 'healthy' dog foods on the market. At 23.5 lb bag, it is a nice size to be able to pour into a smaller container. The only thing I wish it had was a Ziploc at the top to keep the food fresh. However, we roll down the top tight and it stays good for the entirety of the bag.
