We get ours online. No need to drive! It comes to the door automatically with free shipping! We would have to drive about an hour round trip to get it here.Sounds interesting..but can I afford it?? I tried to do a switch to Orijen 6 fish about when they had a USA supply problem. I have to drive 60 miles to get it too. I see there is a store in the mall in Springfield, IL that carry it now per the list on the site. I would have better luck getting it there, and I have a friend that comes this way now and then. Sounds perfect for her, since she is so paticular what her dogs eat. She even cooks free range beef hearts and liver for training treats.
OUCH! I kind of wonder seeing the feeding instructions even without the price of a bag.I mentioned this product to Peter when I first learned of it and he calculated it would cost approximately $20/day to feed a Newf.
Wow! I did some rough math on what Obie's Orijen plus canned feeding is costing now.. and its only about $3 a day by comparison!I don't know anyone who can afford $20/day to feed their dog. For now we'll be sticking with their kibble!
The other information I got is reformulation on Orijen's kibbles again and there will be price increases on the Acana/Orijen kibbles 7-9%.I sell Orijen/Acan and love the product, use it for all of our rescues with great results. When I heard about the new line of freeze dried I was very interested and the food does look great, but sadly the cost of feeding it to a Newf as their main diet would be outrageous.
I mentioned this product to Peter when I first learned of it and he calculated it would cost approximately $20/day to feed a Newf. When I got further details from my sales rep about how much is in a bag, how much to feed it looks like Peter's calculations were pretty close. Brandie's post is correct, a Newf would need 18 or so a day, and the medallions cost $1 each according to my sales rep.
