Orijen :D

We went to our dog bakery today to pick up some Timberwolf since we were running low, and found out that they are now selling Orijen :hail: I'm so excited! I've wanted to try it for a while, but didn't have the access to it. We are going to switch Chloe and Madison over to begin with. When Rylie was younger, she seemed to have allergies to chicken so we've been keeping her on alternate proteins (switching between bison and lamb on TWO). After her new bag of TWO runs low, we are going to try to get her on the Orijen as well.

Yay

Congratulations! I can't wait for that stuff to get more popular.

I know; I was really excited to see it there today

Oh! We bought a bag for our dog. Nice stuff .

We're on Evo again because I like to switch it up a little but we'll be rotating back soon .

That is great news!

I contacted Orijen a week ago and asked them to talk to a local Ma & Pa pet supply near me about bringing Orijen in. Needless to say that store will be carrying it soon! The Orijen rep kept me posted the entire time. Such great customer service and I can't believe how easy it was to get it here!

That's great that you can get it soon as well, showpug Our bakery also ships foods, so it is becoming more and more accessable.

I really like the TWO; my dogs have been on it for over a year...so the Orijen has some shoes to fill

Well, I'm green with envy. lol I'm going to try contacting Orijen to see if they can get my local petstore to carry it. That would be awesome!!!

Ooo! YAY!

How much did you pay for a bag?

It was $12.50 for a 5.5lb bag

Jealous.

I never thought of contacting the company! I either call the store or go in to see what they carry, and depending what they have, I say oh well and leave :lol-sign: Did you contact the store first or did you just let Orijen?

I picked up a bag of orijen on my ski vacation 2 weeks ago. Friend I was with thought I was nuts buying dog food on my vacation
But looks liek I won't be finding anymore TWO locally.. No one wants to sell it. *shrug*

That is a really good price! Not that far off from Innova EVO

The price isn't bad at all, and the ingredients are really great I really hope the brand gets more mainstream... it seems like it is spreading through the US pretty quickly now.

I do have a question if you doing mind, How does Orijen compare to Innova EVO?

I really like how Orijen has 70% meats, 30% veggies/fruits/botanicals, and 0% grains. Also, this food contains so many herbs, minerals, and probiotics.
