I have ordered from them and they were very good - fast delivery and parcel was well packaged

this looks good for bulk orders - I have just ordered the 400gms from the cats and dogs site, as Zooplus is out of stock

this is the first dry food I have ever found that 8 year old Trigger eats with gusto - but a 7 kilo pack would be tempting fate too much, I fear

I saw Millysmum's link last week. I see that they deliver to quiye a big area and they are a lot cheaper than Zooplus and even Orijens own UK supplier.

There has been a major recall of this in Australia due to cats being seriously ill, so it makes you wonder if it is affecting the food here too.

I've been using them for ages. Excellent company with very fast delivery.

Even though we know why it was recalled, I still have niggling doubts. I am sure there are others that are avoiding it "to be on the safe side"

My thoughts exactly Mark, its all well to blame the Austrialian government, but I wouldnt trust it for a long while.

I had a conversation with the uk supplier last week who was quite adamant about the problem being confined to the aussie needs for irradiation - and that it was done at too high a level anyway. I think Orijen are being quite up front about the cause of the problem - hasn't put me off yet.

I know lots of people who use berriewood for dog food and have heard nothing but good reviews of them. ;) ;D
