If you're feeding 300g of good quality food to a 16kg dog then I would suggest that unless you're giving it a lot of exercise then you might be feeding on the high side quantity-wise. Look at the recommended amounts for your dogs weight (it's on the bag) and use that as a guide.
I have a dog about the same size and she gets lots of exercise and 200g of Whites Premium a day. Her body condition is absolutely right.
What that means is that my 15kg bag lasts 75 days. If I was overfeeding at 300g a day the bag would last 50 days - or in money terms it currently costs me £140 a year to feed her, at £29 a bag (as opposed to £211/year if I upped the food to 300g a day!!)
Get the feeding amount sorted and you can save serious money, particularly if you're feeding such an expensive food as Orijen!

This is really good advice ...thanks . Yes about the two kinds of kinds. I do agree. I am trying to finish the Wainwrights which is a huge bag and I am trying to finish this one ..I will stick to waht you said . He does get about 25 mins of exercise /run a in the morning and then again teh same in the evening . I am going to stick to origen and I think I will have to reduc ethe quantity too now as he has started twice a day and i am doing 300 a day ! I do think it is a bit much .
