Question 1

Made in Canda ?

Accepted Answer

Not anymore!  Manufacturing moved to Kentucky, garbage plant that uses garbage material.  One month my orijen kibble was dark and rich colored and smelled meaty.  The next month, I got a bag thatbwas light colored smelled like stale cardboard, was a different shape and size kibble.  I was disturbed, and contacted Orijen.  Got a snooty canned response that I must be mistaken, nothing has changed.  I made a bowl for my lab, who eats ANYTHING and everything like she is starving - and she sniffed it, turned her nose up, and walked away.  Did some digging, EVERYTHING has changed.  The source of the meats, the processing plant, location, QC, all ate now local US based - Kentuxky plant and nearby farm sourced livestock- and US does not have the same high level of requirements for dog food content and processing.  
I went back to orijen, I had 200.00 in 2 bags of unusable food - I jumped through all their hoops, sent pictures of the old v new.food size by size, the codes from the bags, my Amazon order numbers and dates. 
They sent me a paper coupon for a free SMALL bag of food.  Wow.  So, 25.00 coupon toward something that is no longer the product I signed up for, that my dog wont eat, on PAPER - can only be redeemed in-store.  Insulting.  I am in cancer treatment and do not shop in stores, not to mention I should ahve received a refund for the two hundred pound bags, given ELECTRONICALLY, as that is how the purchase is made.  
I wonder if there is a class action in the works yet - Orijen is lying, and ripping off its formerly gaithful and happy US customers, and harming pets!

Question 2

Is this the us or canadian formula?

Accepted Answer

It's the US Formula. They moved recently from Canada to the US. I must say I did not notice any difference in quality between the two. You can tell Canadian vs US because Canadian is vacuum sealed and US is not.

Question 4

why price increase?

Accepted Answer

If you look at Champion Pet Foods website, you will see who is authorized by Champion Pet Foods to sell their food, which includes Acana and Orijen.  Amazon is not one of those authorized sellers and the prices do not reflect what you should be paying. If you go to champion pet foods website and search for online shippers, you can save money by purchasing through authorized sellers. When you see Orijen for almost $90 + shipping you are over paying. It is on average $78.00 through authorized channels.
