    epic failure

    :)Thank you everyone!! I will see if the pet store carries the other food. My oldest, Henry, did well on Orijen. Oscar did start life out on cat food until we got him at 9 months old. He doesn't seem to have any allergies with anything...as of yet. Which is why his reaction to Orijen kind of...

    epic failure
