I would like to switch my cats food over to one of the above foods but cant decide which is better. Both have been recalled in the past but years ago and both have natural ingredients. Any suggestions or feedback from anyone whom has previously used Orijen Go Natural Cat Food would be greatly appreciated.

After looking at both, I would say Orijen looks like it has more meat, less fats (no chicken fat especially which is very good) and less fish digest (fish intestines, sometimes with whats in fish intestines...) I have a lot of friends who feed Orijin as well and love it. Having said that, I would go with the fish food for these since chicken tends to be a high hormone risk food. But the Orijin 6 fish looks very VERY good for a dried cat food.

I would go with Orijen. I trust the brand, and the meat they use far more, and the recall was not from the product, but the treatment of the imported product. My cats eat a variety of Orijen tinned, Wellness tinned and EVO tinned - no dry.
