ORIJEN'S BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE: MIRROR THE QUANTITY, FRESHNESS, AND VARIETY OF MEAT THAT DOGS AND CATS HAVE EVOLVED TO EAT.
ORIJEN Original is made with meat, organs, cartilage, and bone from free-run chicken and turkey, wild-caught fish, and cage-free eggs. Two-thirds of the animal ingredients used are fresh or raw, for a concentrated source of protein. With richly nourishing protein and infusions of freeze-dried liver, this recipe nourishes your dog as nature intended while offering them a flavour that they’ll love.
Just like their wild cousins, modern dogs and cats are equipped with sharp teeth, a short digestive tract, and a body evolved to metabolize meat. Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN mirrors the evolutionary diet, nourishing your dog or cat as nature intended, with unmatched fresh and raw meat inclusions plus smaller amounts of fresh whole vegetables, fruit, and botanicals. That’s why ORIJEN features:
- 85% QUALITY ANIMAL INGREDIENTS | Unmatched by any other dry foods and about three times more than conventional dog and cat foods, ORIJEN’s rich meat inclusions nourish the way nature intended.
- 38-44% PROTEIN | ORIJEN is rich in protein and quality animal ingredients, making their foods Biologically Appropriate.
