I was thinking a long time ago of trying this food until I read this!!

Orijen food recall pet deaths - Pet Forums Community

Mind there are similar report re Royal Canin, so you never know..

So I investigated more.. and it seems it was only one shipment... and have not found anything else..
Champion Petfoods explains Orijen cat food recall

But guess what I cant get it here!! unless I go to the expensive stores and then it is €92.99 for 14 kg, I am not paying that... its bad enough paying € 55.47 for RC 10 kg I use 5 and a half bags a months!! way of my scale.. lol

Hi, Phoenix has been on Orijen since we got her in June and has done very well on it! She has even put on 3-4 pounds bringing her weight up to 12-13 pounds. She loves it and even lets me know when she needs more by knocking her dish on the floor...lol..

Our 2 MC kittens have been on Orijen 6 Fish dry food since we brought them home, along with raw meat. They love the Orijen. They demand both types of food. Eat like horses. Growing like weeds.

I have Orijen fish down alongside RC Kitten and JWB Kitten Turkey & Rice - and my three eat al three about equally. My aim is to move over to Orijen and perhaps Applaws dry as the "stock" of the slightly less meat rich kitten foods run out. I also have a pack of the regular Orijen Chicken in the wings (geddit ? wings ? chicken ? no ?

) for late to try.

Im using orijen since 1,5 months ago... and my boy is getting bigger and health, he was 15 weeks and 3,2 Kg... without any obesity, full muscle... offcourse with many exercises... It's good if you combine with "RC hair and skin".... very useful for hair growth.... CMIIW

Australia has a policy of irradiating almost all imported food. There was an (apparently) unexpected reaction to the irradiation that resulted in links to the deaths of a number of cats in Australia (only). It's easy to find articles on the web - but difficult to find wholly rational and non-emotional ones. Which is somewhat understandable, but I wanted facts...

I've been feeding Orijen for over 2 years now, its the best dry food I have found. They used to enjoy RC Maine Coon but since I changed to Orijen I noticed a big difference in coat condition in both cats. gets a 10/10 from me.

Oooh i hope it works for mine too!

I have always fed Royal Canin (MC and Kitten food) and im ashamed to say i fed that because thats what we sell at work and the rep gives us so much free

but one of my girls has never done really well, so after getting her all checked out for any underlying health problems i am hoping a change in diet might give her some "zing" back.

Im A VN and really intrested in Nutrition so Orijen seems the natural choice, i have ordered myself a bag so ill have to wait and see if it makes a difference.

I suppose if they do better on the Orijen i can give my free bags of royal canin to our local Cats protection branch
