Orijen has the best dog food, the quality and ingredients are at the top! My german shepherd had regular stomach issues and could not gain weight until I switched to Orijen, the dehydrated is the next best thing to complete raw.

I usually get this at my local small pet shop, for 34$ per bag. But they hardly order it so i have to buy a lot when they have it in stock. If i need this but the store doesnt have any, ill buy it here. Its 5$ more per bag but still cheaper than anywhere else online. Quick shipping

So sorry to hear Chewy will not be selling Orijen any longer. Thankfully I have found a local vendor - since Orijen is the only food I would ever consider feeding my baby dogs.

I adopted a dog, she had a lot of problems, stomach, diarrhea, throwing up, put her on orijen dry did great, but canned food was not so. Got the freeze-dried and it was a hit. She has no problems putting on weight, and both dogs face do not leave the bow till it is all gone. Get freeze-dried twice a wk. My rescue dog had a bad life and deserves the best. Thanks Orijen

I use a cheese type shredder and shred one of the cookie sized discs over my dogs food each day. She goes crazy and will eat all of her crunchies. We get Arcana dog food and she loves that too.

I read excellent reviews of this product on quality...and for me that's so important but I guess my pooch still can't read. He didn't take to it like I would've liked. So we're making do with what he's still eating...sometimes. Finiky DOG!

My 4 month old German Shepherd loves this along with his Orijen large breed puppy food. It takes a couple of minutes to prepare but it's worth it.

It's possible I got a bag from an older batch but the medallions from my most recent bag are drier, more crumbly, and seem a bit stale compared to other bags I've purchased. These do come at a cost and it's a bit disappointing when the quality seems lower than usual. That said, my dog still loves it and I still think it's one of the healthiest things I can give him. They're easy to rehydrate. For anyone having problems: break into smaller pieces and use hotter water. I know, all the instructions for freeze dried foods say to use room temperature water or just barely warmer, but it's not going to damage the quality or make it less healthy/nutritious to use hot (not warm, but hot) water.

As long as you keep it well below boiling (no higher than about 120 Fahrenheit should do it), the higher temp will rehydrate the medallions quite well in 5 - 6 minutes. I break mine, by hand, into about 8 pieces, put them in the water and usually stir it around a bit with a fork. I keep stirring, on and off, for a few minutes and it's ready in no time. … more

. . .which happens frequently, yes, but this is especially good. Carson loves to savor a little elk after a long walk through the city. Of course it's expensive--too expensive for us to use as a meal--but good stuff.

I actually use this as a topper for the Orijen Six Fish. I rotate the Tundra and Regional Red freeze dried. They get real antsy when I start mixing the food, so I know they love it.
