Looks excellent for an adult dog in intense training, and/or a dog that may be struggling to maintain adequate body weight and muscle tone, or a dog recovering from illness/parasite indection, but too much protein for a developing pup or young dog IMO. It also looks like it might be very expensive. :-O 

I have two or three dogs I would try it on, but would switch to it VERY gradually, as I would expect diarhea should the Orijen be introduced too quickly.

Shelly my 3 dogs eat raw and a small amount of Orijen, they may get 5 cups a week if that. My sons dog eats mostly Orijen and when she comes here she gets some meat (and extras) too. I haven't had any of them get diarhea from it. The stool is small and has very little odor, not quite as odor free (sounds so weird) as when on raw but close. They never had a break in period.I do agree it is best for an active lifestyle and a bit much for pups. The best part is it is made by Champion foods in Canada, I have talked with them and the meat they use are fresh killed at their factory, they said no ethoxyquin used period. Its seems very palatable, dogs on raw like it. It is spendy. I last paid $57.99 for 29.7# and that included the shipping.

Orijen is ridiculously expensive. I blend it 50/50 with Wolfcub for our puppy to reduce the protein a bit.  She looks great, very healthy. I also notice she is growling at a steady, slow rate. No sudden growth spurts. I have no idea if that the food or just her, but I'm really happy about it.

Actually I don't find the price bad for the quality. All ingredients are tops. $60 isn't too bad for feeding a dog for a month. I can spend that at a nice restaurant eating 1 meal. It has enough oils and veggies I can save $ not having to top with those. Feeding RAW I have meat cost, plus oils and Ollewo carrots which are not cheap, thank goodness a bag lasts forever.

You can change to Orijen from another kibble in less than a week. i have never had a problem and it is top class foods

According to the Manufacuer the Orijen Kibble is okay for growing Pups i spoke directly to one of them and he assured me the protein content was fine for Pups

Butthat is for everyone to decide, It did my Pup no harm he grew normal and Strong I wish i could post a few photos of him on here but so far it has not happened no matter how much i try

OMG some of your guys are gonna hate me but... I just called both local store sthat carry Orijen and $53.99 is the worst I can find the other place is $47.99. Just a couple bucks more than TOTW. The guy told me they like it so much they don't even mark it up, they want people to be able to afford it.
