Many herbs and probiotic bacteria for health
Information about Orijen dog food:
High protein content from fresh meat: Dogs are naturally carnivores, not vegetarians. Their shorter digestive tract is adapted to a meat-based diet, rich in protein and low in carbohydrates. Dogs are also very efficient at using protein as an energy source.
Only a meat-based diet can guarantee health and vitality for your dog. Current research shows that a high protein content is also beneficial for kidney function. Orijen food contains a minimum of 80% high-quality meat.
Fresh Canadian chicken meat: easily digestible proteins and fats
Fresh Canadian turkey meat: provides essential amino acids and natural vitamin B3
Freshly caught lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) from Canadian lakes
Freshly caught King Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): high content of active omega-3 fatty acids (DHA, EPA) for healthy skin and a shiny coat
Fresh eggs from Canadian farms: high-quality proteins, lutein and zeaxanthin for double eye protection.
Grain-free, reduced carbohydrate content: Grains are a cheap source of energy and protein in pet food, but dogs are not naturally predisposed to eat them because they have a very low biological need for carbohydrates. Most veterinarians see grains in dog food as the cause of many diseases. A high carbohydrate content can lead to obesity, diabetes, digestive problems and other diseases.
