Orijen dog food and heavy metals: Is it still safe for my dog?

Question

Recently, Orijen has released a white paper as a response to its ongoing 'Lawsuit'. Orijen white paper states that it contains a small amount of "HEAVY METALS" such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, etc. in its food which is in their words absolutely harmless to our pets. So, now after knowing it should i go for Orijen or opt for some other brand of dog food? Kindly, suggest me something. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I recommend Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin, Purina and Iams/Eukanuba. These companies employ veterinary nutritionists and have above industry standards regarding quality ingredients and care to prevent contamination at their facilities. These companies are far superior than the boutique brands. Have a good day!
