Does anyone feed Orijen cat food?

[cloverleaf1985]

I would like to try this as it has very low carbs but i wondered if anyone feeds it?

My cats are both a bit porky (diet ongoing!) so currently feed a light dry food and half a pouch of nature's menu each.

Would this be likely to make them put on weight? I guess as it has hardly any carbs, they may even lose it.

It's a bit pricey though so would be interested in experiences before i take the plunge and order it! (it's only available online).

I didn't know they did a cat food, I feed my dog this. Would be interested in what you think of it if you do try it.

I haven't tried that one yet (just tried Ziwipeak and also an English version of the Orijen, which I can't remember the name of).

I did enquire at Pets Corner about them ordering it in and me collecting from store and it takes a couple of days, so I would ask your local store, whether it's Pets Corner, Pets at home...saves on the delivery!

With regards to weight, I would go by the recommended feeding rate to start with, but be prepared to reduce it. My cat doesn't get anywhere near the recommended levels, but is still a little porky - he gets himself a take away from the garden.

If cost is an issue then something like Porta 21 grain free might be a good compromise.
