I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

I think you will find it is a slightly more cost effective product than the normal Orijen.  If you carefully read the first ingredient is lamb meal, which includes the lamb bones.  Whereas on the chicken variety the first ingredient is deboned chicken - just the meat.  Bones obviously weigh quite a bit, so that would be the answer I presume.

If they used the same % in each formula it would be, this isnt given so we will never know  :innocent:

It will be similar mark, be the purrs guinea pig and order some, we await your review  ;D

I just read the description and it says the meats etc is delivered daily to producer Champion Petfoods - they are he company that make Orijen - so is it the same thing?  :Crazy:
