Biologically appropriate for all breeds
By nature, all dogs are facultative carnivores, thriving on a varied diet of meats with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses and biologically adapted to metabolize proteins and fats - not carbohydrates - as an energy source. High-protein and low-carbohydrate, Orijen Adult's grain-free formula replicates the same rich balance of meats, fruits, vegetables, and grasses that dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting.
Made with the highest inclusions of fresh grain-fed chicken meat, wild-caught northern whitefish, and fresh whole eggs, Orijen is bursting with the protein-packed, veterinary-inspected meats (minimum 70%) that form a biologically appropriate diet,—and none of the grains or carbohydrates that are inappropriate for your dog. Instead of grain, Orijen contains a full complement of regional fruits and vegetables (minimum 30%) that supply important natural antioxidants and phytochemicals.
Chicken, flax, sunflower, salmon, and anchovy oils provide the essential fatty acids that dogs cannot produce themselves (including DHA and EPA) and are so important to nutritionally support the development of cell membranes, immune systems, and a vibrant skin and hair coat. Bridging the gap between good nutrition and total physical well-being, Orijen Adult contains native botanicals that include marshmallow, burdock and chicory root, stinging nettle, and milk thistle, all of which replicate the natural canine diet and help to soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract, strengthen the liver and control insulin levels.
Check our list of fresh regional ingredients and we think you’ll agree: biologically appropriate Orijen is a natural and delicious way to ensure the health and vitality of your adult dog - no matter what his breed, age or size.
