Just to say, I havent found one kibble that comes close to Orijen or id be using it

Welcome on board. Would you care to list some of those alternatives, and why you feel they're better?

I dont think there are any better products than Orijen or Applaws,
but the point I tried to make is that if cost is a factor, do some research on
the less expensive brands, look at the ingredients and try to do whats best
for the dog not your wallet

Heres the ingredients of the applaws food from their site.

I have no idea what's good and what's not ingredients wise but I'm sure someone can tell use how applaws compares to others

Can you post the feeding guide from the bag please? I can't seem to find one on line. Just wondering how it stacks up in terms of price per day when compared to Orijen.

Also be interested in the Glucosamine and Chrondoitin levels if they are on the bag. My oldest girl needs a good level and with Orijen I don't have to add supplements

heres orijens waiting for applaws

Can I ask which Orijen it is that you feed your dog(s) and why that one?

hi guys thought i would add on here that i bought a 7kg bag of orijen for my puppy and she hates it and refuses to eat it. after a week of trying i have got her whites puppy food and she loves it thankfully. so if anyone near cambs area wants the orijen for £10 they are more than welcome to it

ooo sorry she doesnt like it, must be a first! But glad shes eating now whatever

Tinsely I use the puppy and senior - because I have a pup and a senior dog.
