A BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE CALORIE DISTRIBUTION
The evolution of all puppies to a high protein, high fat, meat-based diet is evident in their anatomy:

• There are 3 sources of calories in all dog foods – protein, fat & carbohydrates.
• Protein and fat are essential, carbohydrates are not. While dogs thrive on proteins and fats, they require absolutely no carbohydrate in their diet.
• Simple carbohydrates cause blood sugar levels to elevate and fluctuate.
• When not used for energy, carbohydrates are stored in the body as fat.
• Carbohydrates are the leading dietary cause of overweight conditions in dogs.
• By providing more calories from protein and fewer calories from carbohydrate, ORIJEN reduces the risk of obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes.
