| What's up with Orijen & Acana ? I've been reading a lot of bad reviews on dogfoodadvisor. Oscar is being super picky and I'm having trouble getting him to eat anything. I received a ton of free samples from Orijen & Acana . Oscar loves it so much. He's eating great. Is this a bad idea? |

| Step away from dog food adviser lol. They have always been a pretty good brand. The pieces were to big for Callie who is picky about piece size. I say if he is picky and that's all he will eat if its not causing him any issues and there is no recalls or anything it should be fine.

| I fed Champion for years. Not a fan anymore. Too many issues and they are one of the top culprits for the DCM heart issues happening in dogs right now. But for other reasons as well, I no longer recommend them.

| Not only that... I found out that their feeding trials are only 6 weeks long, and they only test for palatability. Not only that, but not all of their formulas are tested. They have no actual science backing them and their foods are among the top in terms of foods fed to dogs diagnosed with dietary DCM in recent studies (granted, the studies haven't been super intense, and a lot of the data is still very new but...) Not to mention they annoy me with their wish-washy decisions... such as how they pulled from Chewy.com last year because they "only support independent stores" and now this year they are selling to Petco now. Which I have no problem with but it's just that their "principles" are kind of laughable. Lots of rumors about Purina buying them out (again, that doesn't bother me, it's just the lies about it and skirting around the issues).

Maybe that's why they were so generous with their samples. They sent me 4.5 pound bags of several flavors. They're trying to get more people to buy their food. | |
