Things are changing?
Noticeably worse than Canada-sourced version. We finished one 28lb bag of Orijen Puppy, and ordered this 25lb bag as an immediate follow-up. Feeding at the same rate as the previous bag, our dog's poops were immediately bigger & drier & "sandier", as if the food was less digestible. Her coat was duller and she was definitely not keeping the same weight, so we slowly increased the amount we were feeding her to about 20% more. We're most of the way through this bag, and the situation has remained consistent. Trying to figure out what had changed, we examined the bag and saw that the manufacturing had been moved from Canada to Kentucky. Maybe the quality coming from Kentucky is theoretically as good as Canada, but in practice, it doesn't seem to be the case. We bought a small bag of Regional Red (still in inventory in some locations from their Canadian factory) to mix 50/50 with this food, and things are mostly back to normal. Her coat is shinier, poops are smaller, and she acts less ravenously hungry... some of the time... Not sure at this point what we'll do when both bags run out, as I'm sure the Canadian supply will have been bought up by then. We will probably try another small bag of the US-made version, and if it's like this bag was, switch brands.
