I wrote Orijen, and I, too, got a response. We did not have bones in any of the Orijen we opened and fed, and I repeat that doesn't mean I doubt that some bags did contain bones not properly ground. This thread is beginning to drift from it's original purpose. Unless there's more hard information, can we give it a rest?
Were any dogs harmed? Is anyone finding things in this food that should not be visible to the eye? Any dogs refusing to eat it after having it as a staple in their diet? Any problems w/ distributors or your pet supply store over this?
Our dog had a terribly rough time from the beginning. First it was the brand of food. Then it turned out he was having allergic responses to foods w/ grains (even 'tho his home cooked has brown and white rice, barley, and oats) and the ones we tried w/out grains he would not touch or if he did he soon refused. He was skinny. His coat was dry and falling out in clumps all over the house for months. He itched. His eyes had "snot" (DH's expression) in them. This drove us to home cooking, and it worked well. Suggestions here for wild salmon oil and vit E probably also contributed to his rapid recovery from misery.
Then a few people here on this forum suggested I try Orijen. Jake likes it. For the last 9 months or so it has been a constant part of his diet. Jake's coat glistens. He is literally dripping in coat. His groomer says she has never seen anything like it, and she does quite a few Cavaliers and has one of her own. Works at a nice shop that gets a number of show dogs as well as much loved pets. No food is going to suit every dog or every person who is selecting the food.
I note that while I was typing a new reply was posted. Going to post this anyway before reading.

Gee, I think Charlie is cute, for a human being, that is. I smell salmon. Makes me wish we ate dry food.

Thanks Robert and others for responding to my inquiry on the Orijen as far as the bones went. So glad it was caught and the company stepped up to make sure it wouldn't happen again. My dog also likes the adult Orijen and this is first kibble I've used since last year. Wonder if they will ever make a canned Orijen??

I was in Alberta all summer and my dog was thrilled to be fed Orijen!!! She has chronic itching and problems with shedding and losing her hair. This all stopped with the Orijen dog food. I LOVED IT and so did she. Now back in Louisiana and can't find it anywhere. She's starting to itch and shed and she's depressed because that new stuff in her bowl is totally unappetizing! I had no idea it was an albertan product. I would have stocked up on it had I known. Wonder how much the shipping would run me!

I would suggest looking around to various online vendors if you can't find it locally. Shipping can vary - from FREE to "quite a bit more than free". I would think I've paid about $15 or so for shipping on a large bag of kibble but it depends on the distance from the vendor to your home.

lesbeckerm I wonder if her itching is related to food with grains in it? If Orijen is hard to find where you live, you might try another grain-free option.

lesbeckerm,
You might try ordering online. There are some good online places. If you need one, please let us know.
My online retailer will ship for free if you order at least $50 worth.

5Cat, can you say who your on-line retailer is? I doubt if they would ship free to Alaska, us and Hawaii still arent considered part of the U.S. when it comes to shipping....(and most TV weather maps)  but its worth a try...

Hi Sandi, It's Anthony Holloway at K-9 Cuisine. http://www.k9cuisine.com/contact.aspx. To see the product line, do a search on "cat food". He carries all the good stuff, and is very helpful if you have any questions. I usually can't get the online ordering to work (it's me). So I call, and Anthony takes the order over the phone. He's good about returning phone calls, too. Also, if you get on the email list, Anthony will send you a discount coupon a few times each year. LOL, be sure and tell Anthony you're part of the Itchmo gang! Don't mean to sound like an advertisement, but this site really has taken the frustration out of buying cat food for me. 5CatMom =^..^ =
