The anatomical specialization of Puppies to a high protein meat based diet can be seen in the length of their gastro-intestinal tract, the development of their teeth and jaws, and their lack of the digestive enzymes needed to break down carbohydrate.
The Biologically Appropriate nutritional analysis for ORIJEN Puppy is high in meat proteins and fats, and very low in carbohydrate – exactly what Nature intended puppies to eat.
Organic calcium and phosphorus are naturally balanced for growing bones and teeth, and essential fatty acids - including DHA and EPA from fresh Lake Whitefish - nutritionally support immune and nervous system development.
Naturally occurring probiotic bacteria (microorganisms) promote healthy bacterial flora in the intestinal tract, and select botanicals help soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract, 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.
