I mean, that should last her 40 days at 1/2 cup a day. Great deal huh.
Love my Orijen 1 pound bags!

Max is 7 lbs and handles the bigger size well.
He does not have any problems with it and loves it.
They have a .88 lb trial size that is about $2.50 to try it out.

High Protein does not cause liver or kidney problems, but if there are existing problems they can be exacerbated by high protein causing them to be noticed.

They told me this at 2 differnt "whole/healthy" dog food stores.

Let me know if she likes it! Jackson's always been picky with food and he ate it dry yesterday and today! Tonight, I mixed a bit of broiled chicken in with it just for a treat for him but he ate the entire bowl! He always leaves dry food - always! Not with this Nature's Variety Instinct! Hopefully we can stick with this food

Thanks for the info!

I have Lucky on Taste of the Wild and it's about the only food I haven't had a problem with him eating!! Why do these little guys get bored with their food so easily??!! lol

Lol I know right!! I mean they eat dirt, sticks, anything else they can find before we catch them but the good stuff they get bored with.

Guess we like candy and junk food better than healthy stuff too.
