IS YOUR DOG'S FOOD BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE?

Dogs evolved as hunters and, just like their wild cousins, their teeth, jaws, and digestive system are all adapted for meat-concentrated diets that are rich in fresh meat and meat diversity. Biologically Appropriate foods mirror the natural diet and answer three meat questions:

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 meat, fish, protein, and fat – not highly processed carbohydrates and starches.

YOUR 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.

CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

ORIJEN Six Fish provides more calories from protein and fat, and fewer from carbohydrates, providing a calorie distribution that mirrors the natural diet, reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes. Metabolizable Energy is 3860 kcal/kg (465 kcal per 250ml/120g cup) with calories distributed to support peak conditioning; 38% from protein, 15% from vegetables and fruits, and 18% from fat.

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 and fish that dogs have evolved to eat.

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

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

    • 85% fish (2/3 fresh or raw and 1/3 gently dehydrated)
    • 38% richly nourishing fish protein
    • Our dried fish is prepared at 90°C from whole fish, to create a concentrated source of protein (not the industry standard of bones and trimmings)
    • No grains or gluten
  • HIGH FRESH FISH INCLUSIONS

    Fish are the foundation of ORIJEN Six Fish.

    • 2/3 of the fish are fresh or raw, supplying your dog with essential nutrients in their most natural and nourishing form.
    • 1/3 of fish is dried and prepared at a low temperature from fresh fish to create a concentrated source of nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh fish alone.
  • AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF FISH

    In nature, dogs benefit from an assortment of meat. This variety is often lost in conventional dog 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 Six Fish features a rich diversity of fresh fish in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish for peak health:

    • Whole, wild-caught Pacific pilchard from North Vancouver Island
    • Whole, wild-caught Pacific mackerel from North Vancouver Island
    • Whole, wild-caught Pacific hake from North Vancouver Island
    • Whole, wild-caught Pacific flounder from North Vancouver Island
    • Whole, wild-caught Pacific rockfish from North Vancouver Island
    • Whole, wild-caught Pacific sole from North Vancouver Island
  • WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS

    Mother Nature matched the nutrients in whole animals and fish to perfectly meet your dog’s needs. ORIJEN WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage or bone mirror nature, and eliminate the need for long lists of synthetic ingredients. The WholePrey diet is a nutritional treasure:

    • Fish – 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’s 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.
