BookmarkORIJEN Adult Formula Dry Dog Food :
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.
I have a 8.5 month old Aussie mix. She’s about 42 lbs now. This food is magic!! I love it! She’s never been “food motivated” and so she’s always been a little reluctant to eat her kibble, but she honestly LIKES this stuff. She’ll do tricks for it like it is a treat. More importantly, her poop is GREAT on this kibble. Finally, it’s easy to pick up! This food is a godsend.
We’ve previously tried Innova EVO, California Natural Lamb and Rice Puppy and Adult, and Canidae All Life Stages. Innova EVO gave her the runs, but she was a new puppy. (The pet food store said EVO was rich enough for puppies. My vet disagreed.) California Natural seemed better, but her poop was always so soft that it was messy to pick up, and she never really liked it. She liked the taste of Canidae better – so much so that she would pick it out when I mixed it with the Lamb and Rice. However, her poop didn’t really improve until we shifted to Orijen.
Magic. This stuff is magic, I say. Besides being the magic food for my dog, it’s also made in Canada with almost all Canadian ingredients. From what I’ve read, they get rice from California and Lamb from New Zealand, but otherwise — everything comes from farms in and around Alberta. No food recalls on this brand!
One word of advice: like with all good dog foods, it’s best to keep the bag tightly closed. It goes stale.
My dogs absolutely love this food. I did a food test by putting each dog food we have at home next to the Orijen, every time, our dogs chose the Orijen bag! Thanks, The Cohen family, and the three fur-kids
just the best dry food for my little Yorkie – the only one I buy.
This food was selected by the Glycemic Reasearch Institute in Washington, D.C. as the Pet Food of the year 2009-2010. The institute thoroughly tests hundreds of dog and pet foods to determine which one is the healthiest. Orijen was selected by non-bias experts as the number one most healthy dog food in all the world. [...].
Although there are a small number of other very healthy grain-free pet foods out there, such as Instinct, this food is the best of the best. I am so glad that I discovered this food. I’m a high level athlete and my 7 year old German Sheaprd mix dog and I run very hard for about 50-60 miles per week. He is extremely active. He looks like a model for the perfect physique for a dog. This food helps him stay in fabulous physical condition. I highly recommend this food to health conscious pet owners. It meets the needs of all types of dogs whether they are active like mine or not. Oh yeah — it also tastes great.
