Active dogs require more in their diet, which is often available in foods geared especially for them. It doesn’t matter whether your dog is active by design – a terrier, for example – or is just an individual go-getter. Active dog food provides calories or energy that is required for a fit and healthy pet.
This high protein, high performance formula provides your dog with high energy levels. It's low in carbohydrates and uses chicken as the main source of protein. It also has wholesome ingredients like potatoes, oats, tomato pomace, salmon oil, and the organic grain quinoa-ingredients that ensure all the essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids that your dog needs are present. Omega 6 and 3 fatty acids are also included to help your dog maintain a beautiful, healthy skin and coat.

I have a very active, non-neutered yellow lab who needs the extra protein in this formula. My goal was to put some extra weight on him, and this formula did the trick.

Bosley the very active Boston Terrier loves his food. It keeps him fully energized for a day of play and is great on his sensative tummy too.

My dog does well on this product.
4. Rebecca on 6/5/2009, said:
This is a great food for my hard working sheepdogs, one of which is a hard keeper. Well worth the slight extra cost in the smaller quantity of food I end up feeding! I love the simplicity of the ingredients - easy for most dogs to digest.
ORIJEN Adult Dog Food - Biologically Appropriate for All Breeds
By nature, all dogs are facultative carnivores - they thrive on a varied diet of meats with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses, and are biologically adapted to process proteins as an energy source.
High-protein and low-carbohydrate, ORIJEN ADULT's grain-free formula replicates the same rich balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting.
Fresh Regional Ingredients - Fresh boneless chicken, chicken meal, turkey meal, russet potato, fresh pacific salmon (a natural source of DHA and EPA), herring meal, sweet potato, peas, fresh lake whitefish, fresh northern walleye, chicken fat (naturally preserved with vitamin E and citric acid), chicken liver, salmon meal, fresh turkey, fresh whole eggs, fresh deboned herring, sun-cured alfalfa, salmon oil, pumpkin, carrots, spinach, turnip greens, apples, cranberries, sea salt
ORIJEN ADULT DOG has a Metabolizable Energy (ME) of 3900 kcal/kg or 450 kcal/250ml cup, with 50% from protein, 25% from fruit & vegetables and 25% from fat.
I was excited to feed this to my dogs, as I researched and found it to be a top-notch dog food. Unfortunately, this didn't bode well with my two lhasa apso's. Apparently, they are allergic to it, resulting in non stop itching. Plus, their stool was very soft (creamy texture). I switched their food to Wellness Simple Solutions, and the itching stopped. Their stools are also solid . I'm not saying this is a horrible dog food, as you can see, many people are happy with it. I'm saying that this didn't do too well with my dogs.

Our German Shepherd has a a thick and lustrous coat, and he loves the Orijen Adult

A bit pricey, but we have a mini dachshsund that guards the bag from her sister and our kitty! She definitely
gives it a 5!
4. Karen on 10/21/2009, said:
Excellent quality. Both my dogs gobbled it up. This product was recently rated the low glycemic award for the best dog food. Measure by weight to be sure it's euqivalent to measure of previous food or you will notice blood sugar is up in diabetic pet. You actually may get more food per measured cup due to small pellet size. Only con is I'd prefer less or no glucosamine supplement in ingredients.

My dog is your typical dog - she will eat anything, anytime, anywhere. We had her on a store brand for a while which she always gobbled up, but after extensive research we switched to this about 6 months ago. She loves it SO much that if we ever try to substitute anything else for it (like if we're bad parents and have forgotten to order another bag before we run out) she will not eat! This is from a dog who historically has no problems eating anything edible so it just speaks volumes on how excellent this food is and the caliber of quality it delivers. We introduced it slowly (mixed with her previous food for about a week) and at first she had a little gas, which is natural, but it's helped immensely with her breath, given her even MORE energy (she is 9 but still acts like a puppy!) and also made her poo more solid which makes it easier to pick up. It's a little pricey, but one 30 lb bag typically lasts us about 2 months (1 feeding/day) and shipping is free! I would recommend in it a heartbeat!
ORIJEN 6 Fresh Fish with Sea Vegetables - Biologically Appropriate for All Breeds
Surrounded by Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans and home to vast freshwater rivers and lakes, Canada’s marine harvest is perfectly suited to the ORIJEN nutritional philosophy of high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets made with maximum inclusions of fresh regional ingredients. High-protein, low-carbohydrate and grain-free ORIJEN 6 FISH replicates the same rich balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting, but with single-source protein from fish and single-source carbohydrate from potato.
ORIJEN 6 FISH for DOGS has a Metabolizable Energy (ME) of 4020 kcal/kg or 460 kcal per 250ml cup (115g). Calories are distributed to promote peak physical conditioning with 45% from protein, 25% from fruit & vegetables and 30% from fat.

Fresh chicken meat chicken meal salmon meal turkey meal pea starch concentrate green split peas chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary, citric acid)
The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because one of my dogs doesn't like it. He likes Origin Adult but for some reason doesn't like the Legacy Adult which in some cases seems better to me.

Love the ingredients and company line, but dog is not super thrilled about eating it. Granted he is a bit picky, but not horribly so.
The ingredients are outstanding and my dogs love this food. It's a little pricey but worth the cost.

My old dog loves this food...She had gotten to where she wouldn't eat half the time; just turned her nose up and walked away, but whenever this is in her bowl she chows down as if to say, "Finally, something decent to eat. Thanks, Mom!
