I have read up on Orijen and some other foods and I think, in my uneducated opinion, it is a high quality food. My friend bought some for her Airedale and he loves it! The price is a little higher but her dog doesn't have to eat as much so it balances out. It has a high calorie count and a bit higher in fat than a lot of the dog foods I've looked at but if you have an active dog, I don't think it would matter too much. I've read some stuff about pet food, and one thing that interested me was that some companies make one formula for puppies and one for adults to make money but some of the puppy formulas cause the puppy to grow too fast. As a result, their bodies can't handle it and then you get problems like hip dysplasia. A pet store that I go to sometimes doesn't even sell puppy formulas and tells people to give your puppy 20% -30% of the adult formula than you would an adult dog. Some dog foods like Holistic Selects Chicken and Rice and Canidae for all Life Stages are foods for puppy and adult but you just feed less when they're adults. What I like about Orijen though is that it's Canadian and made in a small factory as opposed to a huge factory that makes a bunch of different foods made with cheaper ingredients.
