Orijen wins Pet Food of the Year - Again!

Dear Readers,

As you all know...I LOVE my Orijen dog food.  Especially that Regional Red flavor we can only get ever seem to get in limited batches (who knew wild boar could taste so much better than they look).  However as many of you also know, Orijen can be a bit of a...um...a "pain"... to work with sometimes.  Always something out of stock or not shipping or frozen or closed or whatever.  So I was pretty happy to get this recent letter from Clark, up at Champion Foods, announcing not just the good Award news, but also offering some hints about future production improvements.

Dear ORIJEN partners,

With all of the product shortages we’ve faced in the past few months, we’re all over due for a little good news from ORIJEN… so here it is:

Selected against all other pet foods for its Biologically Appropriate formulations, ORIJEN was AGAIN named ‘PET FOOD OF THE YEAR’ by the GLYCEMIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE of WASHINGTON DC.  The Research Institute is a non-profit independent research organization whose strict award criteria involve an in-depth analysis of ORIJEN’s ingredients, glycemic-response, diabetic-response, anti-aging factors and biochemical requirements for dogs & cats.

To celebrate this latest award, we’ve created new shelf hangers which we’ll send to you in the coming weeks for merchandising, we’re updating our website next week, and we are printing the second award on our new ORIJEN packaging, which should be ready by the middle of summer.

In regards to ORIJEN supply, our capital plans are developed and new equipment is on order as we gear-up to increase production throughout 2010.

Hope to see many of you at Global in Florida, congratulations on all of your medals you won at the Olympics.

Clark Stride
