He is also on meds for anaemia as he was abandoned for a long time in Southern Italy.

I've read all the posts on this thread (!) and it seems you Orijen users feed a lot less than the packet says. Can you let me know how much you DO feed?

Thanks!

I feed slightly less than on the packet except for my springer who is fed the amount for active dog - he is out working a lot and needs the energy. As for being hyper, I have a rescue spaniel cross breed who was very hyper when we got her but has calmed down a lot and is fed Orijen. I would say start at the lowest end of the feeding guide and increse if they get to skinny.
