BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE | ALL LIFE STAGES

RANCH-RAISED BEEF, WILD BOAR, PLAINS BISON, GRASS-FED LAMB & YORKSHIRE PORK

With 38% richly nourishing protein and 85% quality animal ingredients, ORIJEN Regional Red nourishes all breeds and life stages according to their evolutionary and biological needs.

2/3 of ORIJEN’s meat is FRESH (refrigerated, no preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top 10 meat ingredients.

1/3 of meat is gently dried at 90°C from fresh meat and fish, to create a concentrated source of richly nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone.

Nutrient-dense WholePrey ratios of fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone provide virtually every nutrient your dog needs.

Infusions of freeze-dried liver enhance flavour naturally, making ORIJEN deliciously tasty, even for fussy eaters.

IS YOUR DOG'S FOOD BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE?

Dogs evolved as hunters and, just like their wild cousins, their teeth, jaws, and digestive system are all adapted for meat-concentrated diets that are rich in fresh meat and meat diversity. Biologically Appropriate foods mirror the natural diet and answer three meat questions:

ONLY 1 SUPPLEMENT — ZINC

In nature there are no synthetic supplements, so dogs and wolves derive their complete nutritional needs naturally by consuming whole animals which contain all of the nutrients they need to thrive. That’s why you won’t find long lists of synthetics in ORIJEN dog foods. Loaded with richly nourishing ratios of fresh meat, organs, cartilage and bones plus fresh whole fish and whole eggs, ORIJEN provides a natural source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive.

YOUR DOG IS UNIQUE

Your dog is unique and his feeding requirements will vary with his environment, age, and activity. That’s why we suggest starting with the guides below, and then monitoring his weight and adjusting portions as needed. Feed twice daily and remember to always keep fresh, clean water available.

† Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location. ORIJEN Original is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.

CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

ORIJEN Original provides more calories from protein and fat and fewer from carbohydrates, providing a calorie distribution that mirrors the natural diet, helping reduce the risk of obesity and diabetes. Metabolizable Energy is 3900 kcal/kg (470 kcal per 250ml/120g cup) with calories distributed to support peak conditioning; 39% from protein, 19% from vegetables and fruit, and 42% from fat.

OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PHILOSOPHY

The grey wolf is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic dogs. While years of breeding have produced hundreds of ‘different-looking wolves’, the internal workings of wolves and dogs remain unchanged so it’s no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too. Our 5 Biologically Appropriate principles are simple and mirror the freshness and variety of meats that dogs have evolved to eat.

RICH IN MEAT (85%) AND PROTEIN (38%)

All dogs have sharp teeth and a body designed to metabolize protein and fat from meat. ORIJEN is designed to nourish your dog according to his evolutionary and biological needs.

85% meat (2/3 FRESH or RAW and 1/3 gently dehydrated)

38% richly nourishing meat protein

15% vegetables and fruit

NO grains or gluten

HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS

Meat is the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN foods.

2/3 of meat is FRESH or RAW, supplying your dog with essential nutrients in their most natural and nourishing form.

1/3 of meat is dehydrated at a low temperature for a concentrated source of nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone.

AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF MEAT

n nature, dogs benefit from an assortment of meat. This variety is often lost in conventional dog foods which typically feature a single animal ingredient, such as chicken or lamb, that is highly processed and seldom fresh. That’s why award-winning ORIJEN Original features a rich diversity of fresh meat in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish for peak health:

Fresh free-run chicken from prairie farms

Fresh free-run turkey from prairie farms

Fresh, whole Pacific herring and flounder, wild-caught from North Vancouver Island

WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS

WholePrey represents the evolution of ORIJEN foods, incorporating fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone in ratios that mirror nature and eliminate the need for long lists of synthetic supplements.

Meat – essential for protein and fat as well as vitamins A, B, D, and K, copper, chromium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc.

Organs – packed with virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive, including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and amino acids.

Edible Bone – a rich source of minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium in natural form your dog’s body can easily absorb.
