"Best food" can be different from one dog to the next Albert... they're individuals and what I might classify as the best for Khan could be unacceptable for Biggie. I think you're on track to see if...

I'd love to try raw. I just don't have the time to cook. So should I switch to Orijen? Help people!

Raw requires no COOKING They just eat raw meat. Best decision I ever made as of late! Daphne's coat is amazing, she isn't ribby, and her poop is like bunny poop compared to the big runny piles we had...

Raw is the best food, hands down. Chicken quarters, chicken quarters and more chicken quarters- that's what you'd be feeding for the first month or so at least. You don't cook raw, you just toss the...

How is Orijen considered good for danes when the protein level is thru the roof!

There is nothing wrong with high protein. High protein is actually a good thing and it does not cause any sort of growth disorders or any problems. Sorry to say, but the myth that high protein is bad...

I have to agree with some of the above posts, Raw is the best way to go. I didnt want to do it at first because i thought it would be difficult but i switched blue over 2 months ago and it is the best...
