NOURISH AS NATURE INTENDED

Your dog shares his eating anatomy with the grey wolf, which means he’s evolved for a diet rich and varied in fresh meat, protein, and fat – not highly processed carbohydrates and starches.

YOUR SENIOR DOG IS UNIQUE

Your dog is unique and his feeding requirements will vary with his environment, age, and activity. That’s why we suggest starting with the guides below, and then monitoring his weight and adjusting portions as needed. Feed twice daily and remember to always keep fresh, clean water available.

† Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.

OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PHILOSOPHY

The grey wolf is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic dogs. While years of breeding have produced hundreds of ‘different-looking wolves’, the internal workings of wolves and dogs remain unchanged so it’s no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too. Our five Biologically Appropriate principles are simple and mirror the freshness and variety of meat that dogs have evolved to eat.

• RICH IN MEAT (85%) AND PROTEIN (38%)

  All dogs have sharp teeth and a body designed to metabolize protein and fat from meat. ORIJEN is designed to nourish your dog according to his evolutionary and biological needs.

  • 85% quality animal ingredients (2/3 FRESH or RAW and 1/3 gently dehydrated)
  • 38% richly nourishing protein
  • 15% vegetables & fruit
  • No grains or gluten

• HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS

  Meat the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN foods.

  • 2/3 of the meat is fresh or raw, supplying your dog with essential nutrients in their most natural and nourishing form.
  • 1/3 of the meat is dehydrated at a low temperature for a concentrated source of nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone.

• AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF MEAT

  In nature, dogs benefit from an assortment of meat. This variety is often lost in conventional senior foods which typically feature a single animal ingredient, such as chicken or lamb, that is highly processed and seldom fresh. That’s why award-winning ORIJEN Senior features a rich diversity of fresh meat in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish your senior dog’s peak growth and development:

  • Fresh free-run chicken from prairie farms
  • Fresh free-run turkey from prairie farms
  • Fresh, whole Pacific herring and flounder, wild-caught from North Vancouver Island

• WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS

  WholePrey represents the evolution of ORIJEN foods, incorporating meat, organs, and cartilage or bone in ratios that mirror nature and eliminate the need for long lists of synthetic supplements.

  • Meat – essential for protein and fat as well as vitamins A, B, D, and K, copper, chromium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc.
  • Organs – packed with virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and amino acids.
  • Edible Bone – a rich source of minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium in a natural form that your dog’s body can easily absorb.
