A BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE CALORIE DISTRIBUTION
- There are 3 sources of calories (energy) 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.
