CONSIDER THE VARIATION IN A WOLF’S DIET: DUCK TODAY, RABBIT TOMORROW, AND SALMON THE NEXT…

This natural variety is lost in today’s dry dog and cat foods, which typically feature only a single meat source such as chicken or lamb. It’s hard to imagine how eating chicken twice a day, every day, could be considered ‘natural’ or ‘healthy’ for a dog or cat — let alone Biologically Appropriate.

The truth is that a WIDE VARIETY of FRESH MEATS better matches the natural diet and a diversity of fresh meat proteins and fats is required for peak conditioning, while providing the big natural flavors that dogs and cats instinctively crave.

Proteins from meat, poultry, eggs and fish contain all of the amino acids needed by dogs and cats, with each source of animal protein containing varying amino acid amounts. For example, red meat and liver contain higher amounts of taurine and l-carnitine, while fish is high in methionine and leucine. To truly mirror the natural diet, it is essential to include a broad variety of animal based proteins.

NO DRY DOG OR CAT FOOD ON EARTH CAN MATCH THE VARIETY AND FRESHNESS OF ORIJEN’s MEAT INGREDIENTS.

To ensure a Biologically Appropriate protein and amino acid variety, ORIJEN features a broad selection of proteins and fats in fresh, natural form including free-run chicken and turkey, whole eggs, a diversity of free-range red meats and freshwater and saltwater fish — each is passed ‘fit for human consumption’ by the Government of Canada before arriving at our door FRESH EACH DAY.

And because pet lovers want to know where the ingredients in their pets’ food come from, we don’t buy bulk commodity ingredients produced in distant places beyond the range of our quality control.

WHAT ‘FRESH’ REALLY MEANS

Frequently misused in the pet food industry, ‘fresh’ means an ingredient is never frozen and never exposed to heat or chemicals. Refrigeration is the only allowable means of preservation for ingredients that are truly fresh.
