Do any of your dogs just not like the taste of Orijen? I rotate Knox between TOTW and Blue Buffalo. I bought him a bag of Orijen a couple of weeks ago. I fed him a bowl, and he ate it all up. Then the next day he wouldn't eat it, not a bite. After twenty-four hours of not eating, I fed him one of the other brands, and he hungrily ate it. Now I can hand feed him kibble, and he will sniff the Orijen but not eat it, and if I put it in his mouth, he'll spit it out, but he gobbles up kibbles of BB and TOTW. I can mix all three brands in a small pile, and he will eat everything but the Orijen. I wonder if he's half human and just isn't fond of healthy food. I'll give him another week off the Orijen to see if his taste for it returns. If not, I'll give the Orijen to my GF. She has a big Yorkie, and he'll eat anything. Her mom was feeding him Pedigree until I gave her some of Knox's food, and her mom was blown away by how much smaller and less stinky his poop was. Now she opts for the better stuff. |
Kaji does not like red (meat) orijen. He ate one piece, took the second and spit it out. Took a third piece, spit it out again, and then began to roll around on top of the food. :confused: He loves the poultry Orjien, and happily eats that, but the red he wouldn't eat. He wanted to play with it. |

Jackson, surprisingly, seems to love the taste of Orijen Regional Red the best. He is sooo super picky and always has been. And Regional Red is the one food that he will go over and munch on (if left out in the bowl) without me mixing wet food, etc. Quote:
LOL! Ya know what's funny? Jackson *hates* potato chips. Anything with potato as a matter of fact - french fries, baked potato, mashed potatoes, etc. He will NOT touch them! |
Yeah...that's weird. Knox won't eat hot dogs thank goodness. My grandma tried to chop him one up, and he turned his nose up at it. No matter how many times I ask them, my family insists on spoiling him. |

Levi has always happily eaten his Orijen, but he is not a picky eater at all. He eats Orijen Adult (chicken based). Have you tried regional red or 6 fish? They sell small sample bags. Around $3 for .88 lb. |
No I haven't. Like I said, he ate the first bowl, but now he is rejecting it in favor of his old brands. |

Mine love Orijen regular and Orijen fish. I tried the read meat variety one time, and they ate it but two of them got sick afterward. Not sure if it was a coincidence or not, but I haven't given them that again and haven't had any problems. A friend has a beagle who's a picky eater, and he wolfed the Orijen regular down when he was given it as a treat. For the OP, it could just be that you switched to Orijen too quickly with that first feeding. It might have upset their stomachs. Either that or that really don't like it! |
Snickers hated all the varieties of Orijen yet LOVES Acana Grasslands and Prairie so we happily use Acana instead. I was a little happier with the protein content in Acana also. :) Snick & Viv |

my dogs wouldnt touch it.. |
Their tastes change... Knox went through a stage, where he wouldn't eat Blue Buffalo. I have one of those double dishes. and I'd put Blue in one and TOTW in the other. He'd eat every kibble of the TOTW and not touch the BB. Then he switched one day and did the total opposite. They are weird little creatures. I tried again tonight to get him to eat the Orijen. No way, no how. I'm not going to starve him into it. He eagerly ate some of both of his old brands. |
