I also wrote Champion Pet foods yesterday, along with photos of the kibbles, and no respose so far. I can't believe if they had good quality control, this ever would have made it to the stores.

Here is my picture. Do my kibbles look like others with the bone problem?     ……

I mailed in a few to Pet Food Direct, so they can see for themselvs. How in the world did all these bones get in so many bags? Would have to have been more than one salmon, my guess.

One was an inch long, and most pierced right through the kibble. I'm not happy about it, but at least it was a visible problem, not like the unknown toxins we were dealing with a year ago.

  Re: Warning to Orijen Feeders Reply Contact Below is the link to the letter form Champion pet food site explaining all this. http://championpetfoods.com/charlie_letter.pdf   They go on about how dogs can eat bones, but not cooked bones! They even suggest picking out the pieces with the bones if you want from the food bowl, that would be my entire bags of food. I don't think I will ever be feeding Orijen again. For my grain free, I am actually happy with TOTW, and EP I still feel I never have to worry about. Would love it if EP came out with a grain free.

  Re: Warning to Orijen Feeders Reply Contact One of my friends is a dealer, too, and a raw feeder, so she isn't as panicked as some people are about this.  It isn't a good thing that the bones were not discovered, but I doubt that the relatively "soft" bones from salmon would hurt a dog.  And, all salmon that is fed to dogs is cooked, not raw, due to a parasite that needs to be eliminated by cooking.  I think this is more of a PR headache for Orijen than a significant danger.  But, of course, they should have stopped this before it got into the arena of public consumption.
