Default Any other changes?

If you don't detect any changes in their digestion over the transition period, you can start feeding the new food exclusively.

However, the protein in Orijen is a lot more than RC (9% higher). So I would really watch your pups stools. My dogs loved eating Orijen, but it was too rich for them and their stools became very soft and even runny sometimes.

Good Luck!

Thanks! Another quick question: What other changes can I expect when switching to Orijen? Will he get less itchy?
