The gastrointestinal systems of puppies are designed by nature to metabolize high protein, high fat foods that are rich in meat.
Like all dogs, large breed puppies lack the digestive enzymes (amylase) need to properly metabolize carbohydrate from grains.
Designed to match the natural puppy diet, ORIJEN Puppy Large features higher protein, lower carbohydrate and moderated fat.
Higher protein and fewer carbohydrates means ORIJEN naturally promotes a healthy lean muscle, and avoids the weight control problems common to high carbohydrate foods. Fewer carbohydrates leads to improved food metabolism by puppies (and therefore better nourishment), and much more stable blood sugars.
Bridging the gap between good nutrition and total physical well-being, ORIJEN's botanical selection replicates the natural canine diet and helps 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.
