ORIJEN Guardian Senior Grain Free WHOLEPREY Dry Cat Food 4lb Bag

My senior cat is 11, and we switched him to Orijen Guardian Senior about a year and a half ago. He had started becoming a little finicky about his previous food, which was also a very good quality brand. I decided to try this, and we haven't had any issues with him being picky since. He absolutely loves it. He doesn't leave a single kibble behind, which alone makes the higher price easier for me to justify. I also really like the ingredient profile, particularly the high percentage of animal ingredients and the variety of protein sources such as salmon, duck, and chicken. Most importantly, after about a year and a half on this food, my senior guy looks and acts very healthy and is still excited about mealtime. Of course, every cat is different, but this has worked extremely well for ours. Yes, it's pricey, but when my 11-year-old happily cleans his bowl every time and is doing so well on it, I consider it worth every penny.

My two 12 year old cats are crazy about this dry cat food. Right from the start. I like the high quality of ingredients and the fact that it’s grain free. Cats just don’t have the ability to properly digest grains due to a smaller intestinal tract and the inability to produce enough enzymes to metabolize them. Plus, I had a cat that was allergic to wheat, so I avoid grains for my cats all together. The smell of this dry cat food is not bad for us humans. The kibble is small, which is good for kitties who have trouble chewing. I feed my boys wet food daily, but I was looking for an healthier alternative to dry treats like greenies or dentables. At first I cringed at the price. But after cost comparisons of decent quality cat treats to Orijen dry cat food, the cost comes to about even. So, I plan to use this as delicious and nutritionally healthy cat treats. My fur babies gobble up a handful of morsels throughout the day and I feel better about what I’m giving them.

Read a lot of great reviews of this product before I jumped in to purchase it. I feed my cats a completely wet food diet however I was looking for a little supplemental dry food for overnights. I resist wanting to buy dry food bc I know it's not good for them so I wanted to make sure the dry food I bought would be healthy. When I researched the ingredients of this food I was surprised to see how healthy it was. I feed this for some over nights for my two cats to tide them over. They come running for it and they clean the bowls. So far I've seen healthy coats and no digestive issues at all. I'm thrilled with it and like I said the ingredients are very good. Worth the money for me especially since I supplement with it. I will purchase again when I run out. Very pleased.

My 14 year old cats have stopped throwing up undigested food ever since I switched to this formula! All 3 of my cats prefer this food over many wet foods even. Churu is about the only thing they like better. Made a huge difference in my cats health

Dang expensive, but this food has a great looking ingredient list AND all 3 of our cats will eat the same food! quite a feat. I should not say that they like it, I mean the way they like junk treats or junky cat food, but they will eat it properly when they get ready for a meal. We have been feeding this food for 1 to 2 months now with good results. The list of ingredients in this food does not resemble most other cat kibble so i will see how we do long term. We had one cat that had started vomitting almost all of the cheaper food she preferred but we swithched to the Orijen Senior because it was the best looking ingredients of anything in the pet food market that I saw. Its also the most expensive, but its still way less than a trip to the vet. We are on our third or 4th bag, and I can't find these big bags locally.

My 13 year old cat seems to love this food.

Product arrived severly damaged in an unsafe condition. This Orijen Guardian Senior food was delivered loose with no outside shipping packaging. The Orijen packaging is damaged/unsealed and had a sticky substance all over and a bad odor. Additionally, there is a large dirty sticker applied directly on the Orijen bag making it impossible to read the label information. Orijen should hold Amazon to higher standards if they are going to sell these premium priced foods!

I love the ingredients and thought behind this food. I wanted my cat to have a better diet, he’s been on Iams for a long time now but after researching it this brand is clearly top tier cat food. Sadly my cat won’t touch it. I’ve tried mixing a tiny amount into his bowl, but that made him not want to eat at all, so I tried instead putting a small amount on a plate next to his dish. Here it sits to this day. I’ve tried tricking him into thinking it’s a treat, I’ve mixed his favorite gravy in with some, and am officially out of ideas. He will not touch it. It smells fishy, the size of the kibble seems okay, I don’t know what it is that makes him detest it so much. Very disappointing, I just wanted to feed him the best of the best. It’s so expensive, like insanely expensive. And that would be just fine if he would eat it, I’d buy it forever to give him a healthy diet. But that’s a lot of money to go to waste. So many people say their cats loved it, I was so sure mine would as well. So sad! Now the stray cat that I’ve adopted is eating like a queen while my pampered brat turns his nose up to the best. Apparently this is not as tasty and palatable as claimed in the marketing.
