Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.
When switching diets, it’s important to transition your dog or puppy as it takes time for her digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ORIJEN. Over a 5-7 day period, gradually mix in ORIJEN, increasing the amount each day so that by day 7 you are feeding 100% ORIJEN.

good food for seniors
By orijen on Jul 18, 2021
I have always felt that this food ranks number one in kibble but could never afford it. Since the price reflects a thirty percent discount it puts it in my range. I especially like it is tailored to senior dogs and offers the glucosamine and chondroitin to help with old bones. When you open this bag you want to grab a fork and plate as it smells so fresh and enticing!

delivery issue
By Mason on Jul 13, 2021
I have been using Orijen for 11 years, great food. My issue is that every bag that I have bought was vacuum sealed. That was not how my recent purchase arrived and you could see the effects in the dryness of the kibble and fines in the bag. There are never fines in Orijens food. I thought I would try ordering his food, since it is hard to fine, but this was not the solution.

Whew! She's eating again!
By Lilahmom on Jun 3, 2021
Our 13 year old Great Pyrenees with arthritis and a sensitive tummy has been turning up her nose at her tried and true food. We tried toppers, flavorers, broth, everything we could think of to make it enticing for her. I found this Orijens after reading reviews on Chewy and decided to go for it even though it's pricey. In reality it's not as pricey as I thought because I need to feed so much less, volume-wise. Which probably helped Lilah finish her meals too! She really loves this, eats it dry with no need to add any extras! Thank goodness!

Healthy poop!
By Jfauntleroy on May 25, 2021
I’m transitioning my dog from the vet prescribed food and I’ve already noticed a difference in the last few weeks of her stool and body shape. I will be pairing this food with brown rice and veggies when she’s all the way transitioned since the food is MAINLY protein. But my little old lady is much happier so far!

No resealable bag
By Ljw57 on Jun 2, 2021
My dog loves this food, and the kibble size is perfect for her, but why on earth would a 25-pound bag not be resealable? I bought a 4lb bag locally to give it a try, and that bag is perfectly resealable. It's pretty ridiculous, and very disappointing.

Every last bite
By Coley on May 26, 2021
This one was a little sad as it was hard to believe we were actually looking for senior food for our little guy. :( But he dove right into this from day one. No side effects. Finishes every last bite. Loves it!

Kibble is too big
By JNelle on Mar 26, 2021 top1000Contributor
Was hoping my 9 year old Papillon could transition over to this slowly, but the kibble size is very large. She didn't go for that at all, and left it in the bottom of her bowl. Going to soak the kibble ahead of time in Merrick's Chicken Broth or warm water and see if that will encourage her. Just wish the kibble was smaller, the ingredients are super great for senior dogs.

Supply chain
By Suzanne on May 4, 2021
This brand hard to find locally and thus far Chewy has it in stock. But have a friend on auto ship of her food and scheduled date has been missed. Chewy has contacted her and explained. So their CS is on the ball.

Still on the fence ...
By Hazel on Mar 28, 2021
I decided to give Orijen dog food a try because of the coupon made available. I was expensive but my dog is worth it to me. Even with the coupon, it was very pricey and I don’t think my dog tasted any difference. I’m going back to our usual and not ordering Orijen again until I see a good reason why it is so expensive. I feel a little duped.

He likes it!
By TJ29 on Apr 18, 2021
Dog approved, immediately wanted to eat when he's typically a grazer. My ONLY complaint is I WISH the bag was closable to keep in freshness. As it is, I clamp it shut. But they should really improve on this.
