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:

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.
