And this food is top rated at that site in the food thread! That's what blows me away!
They should take it off their site . This company has proven they can't be trusted. They handled this very poorly. In fact, they haven't handled it at all really. They should have done what monomer said.

WOW! I feed Orijen. I haven't noticed an issue. I just opened a brand new bag of 6 Fresh Fish on Saturday too. I will be inspecting very carefully.

I also spoke to the pet food store owner where I bought the Orijen. She has had bags returned and what she described sounds like what Ash shows in the pics.

I agree with you there! I am telling you they got very cocky when the big recall happened, changed the formulas and now this. Sure does not make people feeding it very confident in the products and managment.

When that recall was going on seveal of the "premium" food makers were boasting about how THEIR food was perfect, they didn't use anything but American grown ingredients, they didn't use gluton. Then it it came out--when they had to take their products off the marekt that they were getting stuff from other countries, did use gluton, was made in plants that were contaminated, etc.

On the all breed board I had taken a lot of flack for using Purina, but Purina One was in no recall then or later. Since then seveal that fed Timber Wolf got disgusted with formula changes without notifying on the bag, etc and no longer use it.

I had a few qualms abut using Taste Of The Wild for KayCee--it is also a 6 star rated food--because it was made by Diamond. But it has no grains in it and I think Diamond learned and I don't expect to have problems with this food.

Goldens bring light into the world.

I'm in Oshawa, Ontario. An hour east of Toronto. Obviously there were some bad bags here as well because the owner at the food store told me she had 2 bags returned and then she pulled the other bags with the same lot# from her shelves.

My brother feeds his Golden Orijen as well and said his food seems normal. He's feeding the regular Adult formula.

Was it just the odd kibble that had the bone fragments or is it very obvious that there's an issue when the bag is opened? Like will I know when I scoop it into the bowl or do you only find them on close inspection?

I have to admit I really like Orijen and feel it's the best product I can get that she actually does well on. However, I do feel upset about the fact that they wouldn't post this immediately to their website or willingly pull it off the shelves of their distributors. Additionally, wouldn't the extra bone make the calcium levels really excessive? Make the nutrient analysis out of whack? This just doesn't sit well with me. What if someone has a dog with health issues and this little mistake really made the dog ill.

Thank you! I just wanted to know how far and wide this "small shipment" got. I understand what you mean about feeling goof feeding it. I have done some research and found a few others I could use instead. Its just a personal prefrece. The extra calcium is a good questions though one I am not quite sure how to answer. Its just upsets me. I was thinking about the reported injury the vets would probably just think the dog got in the trash or something. I would be interested to know though.

I think Diamond has learned too. There is the Taste of Wild fish formula I am thinking of trying.

ash, there was a 3rd posting with pictures on the i-dog forum tonight I had asked the first two wher they lived and they responded right away. The first one that didn't realize until reading my post that those were bones in her dog's food (I think it is a bichon) lives in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri. The one with 2 pugs that ordered a bag of adult and a bag of senior from Pet Food Direct lives 40 miles out of Cleveland, Ohio. She tried to post pictues, but each time came up with a small box with red x. Bones were in the kibble of both bags. However she said she would e-mail pcitures to any that asked. This 3rd one tonight that posted pictures lives in Asheboro, North Carolina. Looks like it could be spread thru several states. I mean, that isn't a very well known food down here and then 3 on that one forum, all in different states got bags with bones in the kibble. Is ther a message I should pass on to them?

I don't know what to say to that? I mean it seems all they/we can do is complain to the retailer where you bought the bag and get the same lousy response from Orijen. I thought the news paper was a good idea if it happens? Take is back and get a new bag I guess and watch for the statement on the website. Its seeming like thats all anyone can do. Oh and EVO it is LOL.
