I feed both, switch it up a bit. My one dog Sizzle, needs every calorie she can get and does better on the Evo (I give her more fish oil when feeding the orijen) The rest do great on orijen. I like that it is made by a small company.

I'm like Dekka and rotate between the two, and sometimes other brands as well. Both are very high quality and my dogs thrive off of it!
