Biologically appropriate™ | for senior dogs
Fresh free-run chicken and turkey, nest-laid eggs and wild-caught fish
Senior dogs are best fed a diet rich in protein to promote lean muscle mass, yet limited in calories to promote a healthy body weight.
With 38% richly nourishing protein, and a limited 19% low-glycemic carbohydrates, orijen nourishes all senior dogs according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
Unmatched by any other senior dog food, 2/3 of meats are fresh (refrigerated, no preservatives) or raw (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top 10 meat ingredients.
1/3 of poultry and fish are prepared at 90°c from fresh chicken, turkey and fish to create a concentrated source of richly nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meats alone.
Nutrient-dense wholeprey™ ratios of fresh meats, organs, and cartilage plus fresh whole fish and fresh whole eggs provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient your senior dog needs.
Infusions of gently freeze-dried liver enhance flavour and palatability naturally, making orijen deliciously tasty, even for fussy eaters.

That’s why we suggest starting with the guides below, and then monitoring his weight and adjusting portions as needed. Feed twice daily and remember always to keep fresh, clean water available.
