ORIJEN | High-Protein from Fresh Meats
Dogs and cats are not vegetarians. They are biologically adapted to require meat-based, high-protein diets and are highly efficient at metabolizing proteins as an energy source.
With a minimum of 70 percent (70%) veterinary-inspected meat ingredients from 6 sources, ORIJEN features the highest inclusions of fresh grain-fed chicken, fresh wild-caught Whitefish and fresh whole eggs — regional ingredients that arrive at our factory fresh — never frozen or dried, and are low temperature cooked at 90c to preserve their natural goodness.
ORIJEN’s high-protein formulas eliminate the need for grains (which are inexpensive but inappropriate energy sources), and as high-protein diets are naturally more satiating, dogs and cats naturally consume less ORIJEN than they would any other commercial pet food.
Unlike carbohydrates which can adversely affect blood sugars and are easily stored in the body as fat, unused protein is naturally removed through normal bodily functions.
With high-protein from fresh meats, ORIJEN diets nourish your dog or cat as Nature originally intended, promoting total wellness, vitality and unequalled physical health.
Farm-Fresh Regional Meats
With 3 fresh, chemical free meats (human grade) from Alberta grain-fed chickens, fresh-caught Lake Whitefish and fresh whole eggs, ORIJEN foods contain the highest fresh meat inclusions of any dry pet food – all low temperature cooked at 90c to preserve their great taste and nourishment. .
Biologically Correct High Protein-Low Carbohydrate Formulas
ORIJEN’s high protein, low carbohydrate foods match the anatomical specialization of dogs and cats to an almost exclusively meat based diet.
This specialization is evident in the length of the gastro-intestinal tract, the structure of their teeth and jaws, and their lack of the digestive enzymes needed to break down starch.
Essential Oils
ORIJEN is infused with essential oils from chicken, salmon, anchovies and herring, flax and sunflower. This combination of fats and oils provides an ideal natural blend of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids, including high levels of DHA and EPA
Grain Free
Instead of inappropriate cereal grains, ORIJEN is made with fruits, vegetables and botanicals produced on western Canada’s fertile farmlands and pacific orchards.
Rich in natural source vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, these health-promoting ingredients bridge the gap between good nutrition and attaining peak physical health.
Natural And Organic Minerals
Unlike typical commercial pet foods, ORIJEN does not contain minerals as sulfates and oxides. ORIJEN contains all minerals in organic form, with calcium and phosphorus naturally present from the meat concentrated formulations - just like nature intended.
