"Used to be good "
Posted byCammie Blaisdellon16th Feb 2025Orijen was all I fed my dogs for the last 5 years but the last couple of bags haven’t smelled the same. Barely got my dogs to finish eating the original recipe so I changed to the regional red and while at first they seemed happy with the change I’m not even half way through the bag and they don’t want to eat it anymore. My dogs are not fussy eaters! Unfortunately I feel like something has changed and I’ll no longer be purchasing Orijen which is a shame, they used to be really good.
"Quality Matters"
Posted byPip Collinson7th Oct 2023The quality of this food is so high, I know I'm feeding my dog the best. Shiny coats, excellent blood work and focused when training I can't ask for more. Recommend!
"Great customer service"

"Great feed"
Posted byVaughn Pennon19th Jan 2022Switched my dog onto Orijen after Royal Canin and never have I seen him so excited when its feeding time. He absolutely loves this. Unfortunately I've ended my auto shipping as Per Direct couldn't price match as I've found the same product 11kg bag roughly $10.00 cheaper elsewhere.
