Leo2o9 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Can I feed my 5 month old husky girl orijen tundra since it’s the only one in the US that still gets made in there North Star kitchen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpup Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I know its not quite the same but I changed Marley onto completely raw diet at 12 weeks old. I certainly could not afford to feed orijen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 They can eat raw at that age if that's a route you want to take Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael_Astro Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yes that would be fine, on their website there are guidelines for feeding pups and this should also be at the back of the bagIt is expensive per bag but you don’t actually need to feed much of it due to the high protein content so it does kind of even out in price compared to cheaper brands which you have to feed more ofThe only thing I would say is what food is she on at the moment? My boy was on Arden Grange and I wanted to switch him to Orijen when he was a few months old, at the pet shop they said I would be better doing it in 2 stages to a medium protein food first as switching straight to a high protein food can upset their tummy. I put him on Canagan which is 60% meat 40% veg and he’s actually just been on that since as he likes that!

Right now she is on NutriSource Large Breed Puppy which is Protein 28.0% 280 g/kg So should I get her the puppy formula or large breed puppy formula or just get her the Best one Tundra since that’s the only one still made in Canada Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael_Astro Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I think the adult one will be ok, I can’t screenshot the feeding guidelines but look here on the feeding tab https://www.orijen.ca/en-gb/foods/dog-food/dry-dog-food/tundra/If you’re on a mobile phone press and hold on the feeding instructions and it zooms in, it does give puppy feeding instructions on there Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
