Biologically appropriate™ | all life stages
Fresh free-run chicken and turkey, nest-laid eggs and wild-caught fish
From dachshunds to great danes, all dogs possess a biological need for a diet rich and varied in fresh whole animal ingredients.
With 38% richly nourishing protein and a limited 19% carbohydrates, orijen nourishes dogs of all breeds and life stages according to their evolutionary and biological needs
Unmatched by any other dog food, 2/3 of orijen meats are fresh (refrigerated, no preservatives) or raw (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top 10 meat ingredients.
1/3 of meats are air dried at 90°c from fresh chicken, turkey and fish to create a concentrated source of richly nourishing protein.
Nutrient-dense wholeprey™ ratios of fresh meat, organs and cartilage plus whole fish and whole eggs provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs.
Infusions of freeze-dried chicken and turkey liver enhance flavour naturally, making orijen deliciously tasty for the fussiest of dogs.
