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. Also, dogs are 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 high protein content is also beneficial for kidney function. Orijen food contains a minimum of 80% meat of the highest quality.
Fresh Canadian chicken meat: easily digestible proteins and fats
Fresh Canadian turkey meat: provides essential amino acids and natural vitamin B3
Freshly caught whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) from Canadian lakes
Freshly caught Chinook 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 foods, 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. High carbohydrate content can lead to overweight, diabetes, digestive problems and other diseases.
Healthy fruits and vegetables from Canada:
Apples: provide dietary fiber for healthy digestion and are rich in phytonutrients with antioxidant and cell-protective action

Beneficial plants and herbs: In nature, dogs instinctively choose grasses and plants that give them vitality and health. The herbs contained in Orijen food are carefully selected by veterinarians.
Chicory and psyllium: provide soluble fiber for a healthy digestive tract and stabilize blood sugar
Dandelion, fenugreek and licorice: protect and strengthen the liver, kidneys and metabolism
