I fed Gino 100% raw. He was doing well and was a bit skinnier than his brothers.
NO gas, great coat, fresh breath.

Asha's breeder insisted to feed a puppy 50/50. We know a lot about raw feeding but phosphorus/calcium balance may be off and it will impact a puppy growth. I agreed.

While feeding Asha kibble in the morning I noticed huge Gino's interest in it.
Also I work fulltime... the morning is always hectic. Kibble in AM works very well for both of my dogs. Their coats are great, breath is fresh but they have a bit more gas. Oh well... we lose we win. I have more time and longer sleep and my skin looks better ;)

I agree with MMCTAQ. That's not a science. The mix of high quality kibble and balanced raw food would never cause any problems.

We feed our dogs:
Kibble - Acana Grasslands

Raw - ground chicken, ground duck, duck necks, duck feet, chicken heads, ground beef, bison and elk tripe, beef organs, ground pork, pork hearts, tonque, etc. We mix a bit oatmeal in it.

Orijen is great food. It may be a bit heavy for some dogs and they develop loose stools. Be ready to see greenish poo :) don't worry that's normal. The kibble is made in our province. Most people feed it.

If your dogs are OK on Orijen I would not worry to mix it with raw (kibble AM and raw PM). I prefer not mix it for the same meal.
