$ Comparison

[Theresa and Doodle Dagny]

Hello,

We have been feeding our dogs Orijen from day 1.  I am excited that they are now on the same formula, having just transitioned Dagny from Puppy to Adult.  

There's only one store within (at least) 50 miles of me that sells Orijen and I'm just wondering if I'm paying a fair price for it.  Here, the largest bag of Adult formula is just under $80. Is that about what everyone is paying? Have you seen significantly better pricing online from a reputable website you would recommend?

Thank you for your input!

It's a fair price for a retail store, but check out chewy.com. A lot of members here use them as well as other on-line sites, and the prices are usually better. I'd do some comparison shopping on-line. 

Petflow is another reputable on-line company, and perhaps some members here can suggest others.

Thanks Karen!  I'm always leery about buying food online because I'm worried I'm not getting the same thing (may be a silly fear).  I'll check those sites out and look forward to others sharing.  Thanks!

We pay around $78 now, I shopped around and that was the best price locally. Chewy.com and Petflow.com are both popular options for home delivery and I think they both are similar in price. Check where you are purchasing it from, orijen/acana has a promotion buy twelve bags get the thirteenth free! With two dogs for me that's a great deal and is a much better savings than free shipping. I live in southern California, when we travel north to visit my sister I usually grab several bags in Oregon, last year they were about $10 cheaper per bag and NO sales tax!

Thanks Jolene!  Looks like I am getting a fair price after all :)

Also, Champion has a frequent buyer program; you save your receipts and your UPCs from the bag, and when you've purchased 12, the 13th bag is free. I know that most Orijen retailers participate in this, not sure about the on-line companies.

The online companies, at least doggie food.com don't but you can deal directly with Champion. Doggie food.com is having a sale right now.

Chewy.com not only participates in the frequent buyer program, but also keeps track of it for you. You can call and they will just send your free bag immediately. :)

Wow.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

It actually looks like your retail store has a really good price. Here's the pricing from chewy; you can see it's not really less.

You guys are awesome!!  Thank you!  I do participate in the frequent buyer program at my store.  It's my favorite pet store EVER, but some things are kind of pricy there.  Orijen seems to go up in price every time I buy it!  Puppy was $74 a year ago and now it's $80.  Anyway, this is all great info and I really appreciate it.  I'm feeling much better now :)

Since the price doesn't look much different between your local store and the on-line sites, I'd opt for the local store. Nice to support local businesses, especially those that carry quality products. 

Is this the store you use? It was the only one listed near you on Champion's website: https://leashesandleads.com/
