I buy Orijen at Zooplus.co.uk
It's £11.95 for 2.5kg. Tilly isn't a great eater and i struggled to find something she liked but she eats this well. She gets Orijen at one meal and JWB wet for the other.

I just got two sacks of Orijen for £80 at zooplus (thats 27 kilos of food) - the normal price is like £83 (well the normal discounted price at the moment I should say) and then you get an extra 5% off for orders above £75...
I think its a good deal
Ive calculated it that with Orijen feeding my 15 months old SBT should cost MAX £5 a week

Quite a few of us have stopped ordering stuff from zooplus as their delivery is abysmal, I ordered Orijen dog food from them a few months ago and they sent cat food instead. I'm going to start ordering it straight from Orijen u.k. as I've been told they deliver within 24 hours.

Re: Dry Dog food whats the best out there ? ................

Hi

My two - a lab (about 35kg too fat!) and a mongrel (15kg hound type!) have been on Orijen for ages but I think I'm overfeeding them. I've just got a new internet rescue dog - an English Setter (23.3kg) and I want to switch him to Orijen too although I'm scared he will get too hyper. 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!
Fiona

Re: Dry Dog food whats the best out there ? ................

I've never measured out the amount of Orijen I give my pair, I just look at it and think ''that'll do the fat wee oik ( Abby )'', I give Arran a wee bit more as he's bigger and is more active than Abby. Abby came to me a couple of kilo's overweight and she is now nearing a decent weight for a sheltie. I do know a lot of people who think that you should reduce what it says on a packet of dog food by 25% and that does seem to keep their dogs in good condition.

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.
