    I just bought new food what do you think?

    it is canadaian made food and I can't find a webpage so I will type the ingrediants so here goes:

    fresh chicken meat, chicken meal(low ash), turkey meal, steamed russet potatoe, fresh caught northern whitefish, fresh whole eggs, chicken fat, salmon meal, salmon and anchovy oils, tapioca, chicken broth, sunflower oil, flaxseed, atlantic kelp, steamed carrot, spinach,peas and tomatoes,sun-cured alfalfa, apple fiber, psyllium seed, rosemary extract, chicory, glucosamine HCL, cranberries, black currents, rosehips, stinging nettle, marigold flowers, L-carnitine, fennel seed, chamomile flowers, milk thistle, chickweed, summer savory, chondroitin sulfate, mixed tocopherols (source of vitamin E), choline chloride, vitamin A, vitamin D3, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin K, vitamin B12, folic acid, biotin, pyridoxine (source of vitamin B6), iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, sodium selenite, manganese proteinate, copper proteinate, lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus casei, bifodobacterium (B. bifidus), saccharomyces (S. boulardii).


    the food is called Orijen, and this is the first senior food I have found that is corn free, this is what Ruffian is allergic to.

    right now they are fed medi-cal hypo-allergenic, which they like just fine but it smells so bad I wanna up-chuck when I feed them, this new stuff smell sooo much better

    okay here is the guarenteed analysis
    protien min 42%
    carb max 18%
    fat min 14%
    moisture max 10%
    fiber max 3.5%
    calcium min 1.5%
    phosphorus min 1.4%
    omega-6 min 1.5%
    omega-3 min .7%
    glucosamine min 800mg/kg
    chondroitin min 150mg/kg
    microrganisms 50,000,000 cfu/kg
    calorie count is 410 kcal/ 250 ml cup with 50%from protine 25% from fruits and veggies and 25% from fat.


    I dont know if it is great food, but like I said before it is the first sienor food I have ever found that is corn free, and it is the highest grade food I have found here yet.

    looks like pretty high quality food to me - better than most!

    Looks great

    Looks pretty good to me, too. And calorie-dense, so be careful not to overfeed. 42 percent protein is in the working dog range.

    well my boy has always been underweight, and my girl is a little havey, maybe 3 lbs, so hopefully they will be ok, this is the only food I have found that wasnt presription diet here, I just have to hope that she doesnt react, they also carry some eagle pack, but I liked to look iof this better

    I like the fact that there is only 14% fat. Even though the protein is 42%, the fat level is low enough so as not to gain and still keep the energy level up and the protein will help with muscle retention.
    The only thing that bothers me is the phsyllium (could cause gas)
    I LIKE IT! I  bet it's VERY expensive!

    I was paying 22 for a 4kg bag of the vet stuff, and this is 24 for a 7kg bag, so it is actually a little cheaper, these are the canadian prices of course, [;)].
