A Biologically Appropriate diet is formulated to match the same balance of protein and fat from meat ingredients that cats and dogs would find hunting in the wild—while keeping in mind that a modern lifestyle of regular meals and less exercise means a reduced calorie requirement.

The Biologically Appropriate concept is simple: in correct ratio and quantity, include the fresh, whole foods that nature evolved dogs and cats to eat while excluding ingredients like cereal grains that are not part of the natural diet.

The peak health of our companion cats and dogs depends upon the quality proteins and fats they derive from meats - not from carbohydrates and grains. High-protein, low-carbohydrate and grain-free, ORIJEN features high inclusions of fresh regional ingredients in a Biologically Appropriate ratio of 70 percent meat, 30 percent fruit and vegetables and zero grain (70/30/0).

ORIJEN closely matches the foods that dogs and cats are evolved to eat, providing them nourishment as Mother Nature intended.
