A BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE CALORIE DISTRIBUTION
  • 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.
