ORIJEN Original Dry Dog Food is appropriate for all dog life stages and breeds. This nutritious recipe features a delicious combination of fresh free-run chicken and turkey, wild-caught fish, and cage-free eggs.
Made in Champion Petfood's own kitchens with a high percentage of top quality animal ingredients, ORIJEN recipes provide a richly nourishing and 'Biologically Appropriate' diet with a protein level similar what your pet's wild ancestors would eat. Essential animal fat is provided by naturally occurring, non-rendered sources like fresh poultry, fish, and eggs. DHA and EPA, which are essential for your pet's immune and nervous systems, and glucosamine and chondroitin that support healthy joints, are also included with no synthetic sources added.
The ORIJEN Difference:
- Made with 85% quality animal ingredients - nourishes dogs of all life stages according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
- Free of rendered poultry meals, 1/3 of the meat ingredients are from dehydrated chicken and turkey (air-dried at a low temperature from fresh meat) for a concentrated source of nourishing protein.
- 2/3 of the meat ingredients are FRESH (refrigerated, without preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, without preservatives), including the top 10 ingredients.
- Nutrient-dense WholePrey ratios of fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone, plus fresh cage-free eggs, provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs.
- Infusions of gently freeze-dried liver enhance flavor and palatability naturally, giving ORIJEN a delicious taste that dogs crave.
