My senior German Shepherd is a very fussy eater, but loves Orijen Senior. She still has some of her favourite food - steamed chicken - along with it though. Her coat is in great condition and no digestive problems now like she had with other dry food.
Bottom Line
Yes, I'd recommend this product to a friend

Too early to see results but 15 year old dog loves the flavour and I'm pleased to be feeding non-grain food. Product is quite smelly so need airtight container to store it in. Has given my elderly dog smelly gas.

My boy is coming into old age so I decided to switch him to Orijen senior food to give him the best diet I could. He ate it immediately (he can be quite picky) and I feel confident feeding it because it is good quality and healthy!
