I began feeding all three of my dogs Orijen in May of 2017, shortly after my oldest dog Kramer, a 4-year-old American Bulldog/Pit mix, was diagnosed with lymphoma. Being so young and receiving this diagnosis was so completely devastating. We decided to pursue chemotherapy treatment in order to give Kramer the best possible chance of beating cancer, even if it meant that we would only buy him and us a few more months. Kramer had always had digestive issues and a sensitive stomach, so I knew that feeding him the best quality kibble (along with other fresh food) was extremely important.

Being so young and receiving this diagnosis was so completely devastating. We decided to pursue chemotherapy treatment in order to give Kramer the best possible chance of beating cancer, even if it meant that we would only buy him and us a few more months. Kramer had always had digestive issues and a sensitive stomach, so I knew that feeding him the best quality kibble (along with other fresh food) was extremely important. We put our sweet boy at peace just one month ago, and while my heart is still broken and we are devastated, I know that feeding him Orijen contributed to the unbelievably resilient, strong and otherwise healthy dog that we had for the last 9 months. Kramer went into remission in June and lived his absolute best life in his last few months, despite going through 26 weeks of chemo. After we switched his food to Orijen 6 Fish, his gas completely disappeared, his other digestive issues were nonexistent too. Everybody that saw him could not believe that he was sick, because he was truly thriving. Despite losing Kramer to lymphoma, we have continued to feed our other two dogs Orijen's 6 Fish. On top of the quality and freshness of the ingredients, I fell more in love with the company after they decided to pull their products from Chewy when they were bought by PetSmart. I love what Orijen stands for. I love that no matter where I go to buy their food the price remains the same. It is definitely an expensive food to feed our dogs, considering they're both 70lbs. However, our dogs eat less quantities of this food because there are no unnecessary fillers. Below is a photo of Kramer in the midst of his chemo treatment.

Amazing food!

This is the best dry food for cats in my country - Bulgaria! I have not found a better ingredient list here and my cat loves it so much! It made a big difference in his overal health and coat when switching to Orijen! I would love to see other varieties here, other than the fish, chicken and red meat ones! 11/10 !

Excellent brand for dry food

This is the 1st time I’ve purchased Orijen. I usually buy N&D because of their high quality. I was told by the sales associate at the store that Orijen’s quality is right up there with N&D, so I thought I’d try it and see if my finicky cat would eat it. She liked it! When I look at the bag and read through the ingredients, I’m happy I bought it.

Good for them, good for me

My two cats have been eating Orijen for over a year now and this flavor is one of their favorites. The pieces of kibble are the perfect size, shape, and crunchy texture they find irresistible. They smell savory and a little fishy, but just enough to entice the cat and not stinky enough to make your home smell funky. I love that this food is nutritionally dense so they don't need to eat a lot of it to feel satisfied. This food also has a great impact on their digestive system, they're very regular and don't have gas or want to eat grass. The litterbox smells less pungent and is easy to clean. My only gripe is that the smaller bags have a re-sealable closure top and the bigger bags do not. This is annoying as the bigger bags have to last much longer and I worry about ... MoreMy two cats have been eating Orijen for over a year now and this flavor is one of their favorites.

Loves this high quality food!

This product is the only one that I have found that has real food in it. The rest have "meal" instead of actual meat. Her fur is beautiful. She even gets compliments. She used to be feral so she is very sensitive to picking up on smells and tastes. She will not eat the Six Fish which does have some meal in it. Not sure if this is due to the meal or she doesn't like the flavor. She loves Orijen Red and really really likes the Orijen Cat and Kitten. Both have 90% premium animal ingredients which is why I chose them. Her favorite flavors tend to be toward the red meat (beef). She is also a fan of Tuna and Tilapia and some things salmon but not too much; she is a little picky with fish just to be fair with the analysis of the products. Overall this is the product of ... MoreThis product is the only one that I have found that has real food in it. The rest have "meal" instead of actual meat. Her fur is beautiful.

Overall this is the product of choice because they go the extra mile to make sure your pet is getting actual food and not just fillers (meal) and carbs. Cats do not have as much of the Carb enzymes so they need high protien with some fiber. LOVE THIS BRAND compared to others.

My Cats love this !

I have 3 adult cat who are all picky on their dry food preferences, so I am always buying 3 different bags of food. I have not heard of or used the Orijen Brand before so this was a risky chance in Hope's my cats would enjoy it. To my surprise all 3 of my cats immediately did their "feed me" meows and the strong fishy smell had them enticed even more. The food was super fresh and very strong fishy scent as the food was of a darker blend. The 6 fish flavors are made with raw or fresh caught fish. You get a nice blend of Mackerel, Herring, Flounder, Silver Hake and Redfish. All of which my cats love and they have been feasting ever since. Overall, great blend of flavors, I love that it's made with fresh fish and was gentle on my cats digestive system.

I highly recommend trying out the brand and flavor if your cats love seafood flavors.

My boy loves it!

Very high quality product. My kitty is very happy with this food. I love that they care about how they source the fish using only sustainable wild catch instead of salmon and tuna that is full of mercury as well. Also bought this food because it does not have any other animal byproducts. I do not eat meat and I always feel guilty and bad what happens to those beautiful sentient beings.

Real Food My Cats Really Like

Like many felines, my cats are picky. I am always concerned about their nutrition and if they are eating healthy. Orijen Six Fish biologically appropriate cat food is indeed made with wild, fresh, whole and sustainably caught mackerel, herring, flounder, redfish, monkfish, and silver hake. When you first open the ziplock sealed bag, the smell of fish is very strong. That's a good thing. If you want your pets to eat natural food, it should smell like real food and not like scented cereal. When I served it, both cats immediately went to it and ate heartily. The dark brown flat round pieces seemed to be easy for them to chew and swallow. I've noticed that they don't need to eat as much of this food to feel satisfied. They have been no digestive issues.

Seems to be the perfect food

I purchased this at a local pet store when they didn't have my cats regular food. He's the picky one that doesn't eat any of the regular store-bought food and hones in on just what he likes. I got this because of the mackerel he seems to like mackerel and it was the first ingredient so I got it. I have to admit I didn't read the feeding instructions and I should have. He had been eating it since Friday and then all of a sudden he got sick and threw up. Later on that day mind you this is Tuesday now I fed him a second time and then he threw up not long afterwards again and then went to the litter box and eliminated quite a bit. So I don't know if his body is adjusting to the richness of the real fish or what. I was pretty tempted to take it back the pet store and get ... MoreI purchased this at a local pet store when they didn't have my cats regular food.

I was pretty tempted to take it back the pet store and get his regular stuff but then my husband and I discussed it and decided to read the feeding instructions and monitor his intake that way. It is a good cat food I have two other cats besides this one they didn't have any problems but they also didn't eat as much as this is not their regular food source. I'm saying all that to let people know that there are pros and cons to everything and you just have to work these things out for yourself. Thank you very much for making such an amazing cat food. I'm hoping I don't have to come back online and say I had to take it back. In this instance less is definitely more.
