| Orijen = increased water consumption??? Is it normal for dogs in higher protein foods to have increased water consumption?? Hootie and Hobbs have been drinking a LOT more water since I changed their food to Orijen. Just didn't know if it is something I should be worried about or not. |

| Yes its normal, as they get used to the new high protein food their drinking habits will probably calm down lol. |

| They are consuming more water simply because it takes more water to process a high protein dry diet- maybe this will set your mind to rest, scroll down for the kidney questions, http://www.championpetfoods.com/orijen/faq/#Botanicals. |
