A BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

There are three sources of calories available to your cat or kitten: protein, fat and carbohydrates. While protein and fat are essential for your cat; carbohydrates are not. In fact, cat and kittens require absolutely no carbohydrate in their diet.

Simple carbohydrates from cereal grains such as rice or corn cause your cat’s blood sugar levels to elevate and fluctuate and when not used for energy, carbohydrates are quickly and easily stored in the body as fat. Indeed, excess carbohydrates are the leading dietary cause of overweight conditions in cats of all breeds.

By providing more calories from protein and fat, and fewer calories from carbohydrates, ORIJEN provides a calorie distribution that mirrors your cat’s natural diet — promoting a long and happy life by helping reduce the risk of obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes.
