We’ve been notified by our supplier that shipments of Orijen have been temporarily disrupted. This has unfortunately resulted in most of our Orijen formulas being out of stock.

If you are currently set up on auto-delivery, you will be contacted if your scheduled delivery cannot be made as a result.

We apologize for the temporary inconvenience and hope it is resolved within the next week or two. We have the following grain free formulas to offer as alternatives. Special order foods can usually be available within one week:

  • Canidae Grain Free Salmon
  • Canidae Grain Free All Life Stages (turkey, chicken, lamb, fish)
  • Evo
  • Evo Red Meat (special order)
  • Instinct
  • FirstMate
  • Before Grain (special order)
  • Taste of the Wild (special order)
  • Wellness CORE (special order)

If you’d like pricing or more information on any of these, please let us know.

    Can you please explain why Orijen shipments are “temporarily disrupted”?

    Given all the problems with commercial food, is there a problems at Champion that pet owners should know about?

    Could you please contact Champion and get the facts?

    Many thanks.

      Rocky-

      Thanks for your comment. I understand and share your concern.

      According to the information we received, the shortage was due to a combination of factors, none of which had to do with the quality of product.

      Champion had a scheduled shutdown for maintenance and upgrades, which is a regular function of any plant. It took longer than expected to get back into production as a result of flu affecting some of their staff.
