| My vet said no to Origin for my 6 lb. Biewer, Dori...too much protein. We settled on Wellness Super5mix. It has small kibble and, most importantly, Dori loves it. But, only 1/4 cup x twice daily.

This comes from the dog food reviews done by vets. etc. I am by no means saying NOT to feed Orijen but that after research with them saying Orijen IS the BEST dog food on the market which is awesome but that its not recommended (not saying u can't) for small breeds. I choose not to use it BUT I am so glad that it works for others.

I was going back n forth between Wellness Super%Mix n Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken n went w the BB due to it being 100 % grain free due to their constant itching. I am going to see how they do on it n may go to Wellness next. I heard it was good to switch every 3 months? Not sure about that...

I never said Orijen them selves said this. We r all on here trying to get info so no need to be so defensive. I said that it was the best dog food on the market n that I read that and was wanting opinions n was worried on what to do. I have no idea if this is true and only posted what i read. We r suppose to be here to help...Wow, so much for a friendly site.

You said it was a typo and that's fine, mistakes happen no biggie. The best food for your dog is the food your dog does best on, opinions will differ from site to site and people to people. I checked the comments under the review you posted and someone asked "Why is Orijen Regional Red or other Orijen Grain Free dog foods not recommended for small and/or inactive dogs?" i agree with this reply someone posted below, "I think the reason that the administrator said that is because this food is so nutrient dense that the rations for every dog are reduced compared to most other dog foods.So basically what he is saying is that it would be very easy for a small inactive dog to become overweight on this food.But this is true for ANY breed-size of dog.So you have to be careful on the AMOUNT of Orijen that you feed to ANY dog.Use the chart on the bag for reference but keep in mind that every dog is an individual so any given dog may need a little more or less than is stated on the package,due to metabolism or exercise-energy levels.Also Champion pet foods-the maker of Orijen recommends their products for all breeds from tiny to extra large." hope that helps Last edited by candigirl; 03-21-2011 at 09:35 AM. | |

However, many of the LID by Natural Balance are in that range AND grain free and I have fed those with great success as wel.

| Thanks everyone for all the tips and links. I decided on Acana Wild Prairie. She's had it out for a few days & has ate some, but not much. I only bought a trial size so if she doesn't increase her eating by the time that's gone I will try something else or maybe get a canned food to go with it. She's just such a picky eater, though she's not losing any weight. Thanks again!
