Is it okay to feed my dog food with many ingredients like Orijen?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 5 years and 2 months old | 17 lbs

Is it ok to feed foods with various ingredients such as over 40 ingredients. For example Orijen had lots of ingredients vs. limited ingredient foods just having around 7-10 ingredients. Is feeding foods like Orijen ok? Why or why not?

Limited ingredients diets are recommended for dogs that have or may have food allergies or sensitivities. Some pet parents choose to feed limited ingredient diets to their dogs to avoid preservatives and fillers.
