Previous Next Up Topic Dog Boards / Feeding / Zooplus price increase again??????
By sadie (**) [gb] Date 18.10.08 13:54 GMT
Just been on Zooplus to stock up on Orijen 6 fish and am amazed they have increased the price again....

It has increased from £46.90 to £50.90 and now is £57.95 all within about 3 months.
I received an email about the 1st price increase but they seem to have been quiet about the latest one.
How can they justify a price increase of more than £10 for 13.5kgs

Does anyone know of anywhere cheaper stocking Orijen?

I used to feed Timberwolf untill the price on zooplus got ridiculous(plus they never had it in stock).The trouble with those foods is they have to ship them from the States/Canada to Germany then on to us so I'd think the rise in air fuel would be one of the reasons for the increase

This place sells it a bit cheaper but they do charge for delivery..

and this one..

(free delivery if you buy 2 sacks)

Found them on the orijen site... http://www.championpetfoods.com/orijen/storeLocator/internationalonlinestores.aspx

There must be other stockists by now but I'd think they'd all be affected by the increases too.My OH has been on an environmentally friendly mission recently so I have to find one manufactured here.

I've just noticed you said the fish variety and that seems to be the only one that's increased by so much,very strange!? Maybe the price of fish has rocketed?

Have you seen the fish4dogs food? I've not tried it on mine but I have heard good things about it..

Is it just Orijen?  I notice that the Markus Muhle that I use is still the same price.

Even the products produced in the UK get the grain from around the world, Burns use New Zealand lamb etc. So unless the ingredients are grown / reared in the UK or close by then seems it doesn't matter the travel costs will still have an impact
I see Burns has another price increase on 1st November.

Pet food isn't the only food rising in cost ..........

I have seen the Fish4dogs food and have spoken to them on the phone, (very helpful).
I had just changed to Orijen at the time which my dogs love.
Fish4dogs sent me a couple of samples and I gave it my dogs as treats they didn't seem over enthusiastic about it.
I really do need to feed a Fish based food as one of my dogs has a slight reaction to Chicken protien so I do try to avoid feeding meat.
I like Orijen because it's not bulked with rice.
Anyway looks like I will just have to pay what they ask but it's so infuriating that the price has been increased twice within 3 months.
If the price keeps going up I will probably have to look elsewhere (Fish4dogs probably).

Hi
I have also been using Orijen (in addition to Nature Diet) but given the recent price increases have given the Fish4Dogs a try. I have just come to the end of my first 15kg bag and my gang have really enjoyed the food. No upset tums and output is good as well .. slightly more of it than on the Orijen/Nature Diet but not excessive and very pickupable ... LOL

If your looking for a Fish based food have a look at Taste of the wild

Its still a bit pricey at 49.99 for 13.6kgs (inclusive of del) but my boys love it! they send out samples too if you want to try it first.

everything has gone up, my food has gone up but only by a pound or two, that is expensive what you are feeding.
