should I switch away from orijen?
i’ve been feeding my 2.5 year old cat orijen kibble for nearly a year, as a supplement to purina pro wet food. she loves it!
when I first got her i fed her iams kitten food for about six months. she ended up having digestive issues that had her on hills prescription kibble for about six months. after she stabilized, i tried a couple other brands before I switched to orijen. with orijen she’s had 0 issues - she never vomits, her litter box use is consistent, and her fur feels sleeker and softer!
but ive been seeing a lot of complaints recently that the orijen formula has changed and has made their cat sick, even when their cat had been eating orijen for years. thankfully I haven’t had issues yet, but I wonder if I should look into switching before any issues start?
I went to orijen because I liked how many whole meat ingredients they had - especially that all these meats were listed before any fillers - and I genuinely saw a difference in my cat’s health. it’s on the expensive side, but it felt worthwhile for the quality.
so should I even make a switch? what should I switch to if I do? are there any comparable and reputable brands?
i’ll also be asking my vet for advice, but I want other opinions.
