Full Orijen Wet Dog Food Review: See the Ingredients & Our Dogs Reaction!

Okay, so I've been meaning to switch up my dog's food for a while. He's been getting a little... ahem... chunky, and the vet suggested a higher protein diet. I'd heard good things about Orijen, especially their dry food, but my pup is a picky eater and sometimes turns his nose up at kibble. So, I decided to try the Orijen wet food instead. Here's how it went down.

The Hunt for the Perfect Flavor

First, I headed to the pet store. The Orijen section was pretty impressive – lots of different flavors and formulas. I grabbed a few cans of the "Regional Red" and the "Original" recipes. I figured I'd give him some variety and see what he liked best.

The First Impression

Back home, I cracked open a can of the Regional Red. Honestly, it didn't smell half bad! You know how some wet dog foods have that weird, artificial smell? This one actually smelled like real meat. My dog, Buster, was immediately interested. He started sniffing around my feet, tail wagging like crazy.

The Taste Test

• I scooped some of the food into his bowl. It had a nice, thick consistency, not too watery like some other brands.
• Buster dove right in! No hesitation, no sniffing and walking away. He gobbled it down in record time.
• Success!

The Aftermath (and the Poop Talk)

Okay, let's be real, a big part of reviewing dog food is talking about... well, the output. I monitored Buster's "business" for the next few days. Everything was solid, normal, and maybe even a little less... voluminous? (Sorry, had to go there!).

The Long-Term Effects

I rotated between the Regional Red and Original flavors for a couple of weeks. Buster continued to love both. I noticed his coat seemed a bit shinier, and he definitely had more energy. He even seemed a little less…round. It is really amazing! I think we finally made it!

My Verdict

Overall, I'm super happy with the Orijen wet food. It's a bit pricier than some other brands, but the quality seems worth it. Buster loves it, his digestion is good, and he seems healthier overall. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try, especially if your dog is a picky eater or needs a higher protein diet.
