Biologically appropriate™ | all life stages
Fresh pacific pilchard, mackerel, hake, flounder, rockfish and sole
An unmatched diversity of fresh, whole and wild-caught fish from vancouver island’s cold pacific waters.
With 38% richly nourishing protein, and a limited 18% low-glycemic carbohydrates, orijen six fish nourishes dogs of all life stages according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
Unmatched by any other dog food, 2/3 of orjen’s fish are fresh (refrigerated, without preservatives) or raw (flash-frozen, without preservatives), including the top 6 fish ingredients.
1/3 of fish are gently dried at 90°c from fresh whole fish to create a concentrated source of richly nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh fish alone.
Nutrient-dense wholeprey™ ratios of fresh whole fish (including fish, organs, and cartilage) provide virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive – only zinc and copper are added.
Infusions of freeze-dried cod liver enhance flavour naturally, making orijen deliciously tasty, even for fussy eaters.
