The relatively short gastrointestinal system of dogs lacks the enzymes needed to efficiently digest carbohydrates and is instead evolved to metabolize a diet high in protein and fat.
High protein and low carbohydrate, the nutritional analysis of ORIJEN ADULT replicates the diet Mother Nature originally intended for adult dogs.
With total calories moderated to match the lifestyle of today's adult dog, ORIJEN's high protein and reduced carbohydrate formula naturally controls body weight by providing calories in a biologically appropriate form (fewer calories from carbohydrate, more calories from protein).
Organic calcium and phosphorus are naturally balanced and supplemented with 100% ocean-source glucosamine and chondroitin to nutritionally support long-term bone and joint health.
A rich supply of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids from fresh fish, sunflower and flax nutritionally supports peak health and a healthy skin and hair coat.
Bridging the gap between good nutrition and total physical well-being, ORIJEN's botanical selection replicates the natural canine diet to soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract, strengthen the liver and control insulin levels.
Farm-Fresh Regional Meats
With 3 fresh, chemical free meats (human grade) from Alberta grain-fed chickens, fresh-caught Lake Whitefish and fresh whole eggs, ORIJEN foods contain the highest fresh meat inclusions of any dry pet food – all low temperature cooked at 90c to preserve their great taste and nourishment. .
Biologically Correct High Protein-Low Carbohydrate Formulas
ORIJEN’s high protein, low carbohydrate foods match the anatomical specialization of dogs and cats to an almost exclusively meat based diet.
This specialization is evident in the length of the gastro-intestinal tract, the structure of their teeth and jaws, and their lack of the digestive enzymes needed to break down starch.
Essential Oils
ORIJEN is infused with essential oils from chicken, salmon, anchovies and herring, flax and sunflower. This combination of fats and oils provides an ideal natural blend of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids, including high levels of DHA and EPA
Grain Free
Instead of inappropriate cereal grains, ORIJEN is made with fruits, vegetables and botanicals produced on western Canada’s fertile farmlands and pacific orchards.
Rich in natural source vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, these health-promoting ingredients bridge the gap between good nutrition and attaining peak physical health.
Natural And Organic Minerals
Unlike typical commercial pet foods, ORIJEN does not contain minerals as sulfates and oxides. ORIJEN contains all minerals in organic form, with calcium and phosphorus naturally present from the meat concentrated formulations - just like nature intended.
