Orijen Cat & Kitten – Dry Food

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE | FOR ALL LIFE STAGES

Fresh Free-Run Chicken & Turkey, Cage-Free Eggs, And Wild-Caught Fish. Cats And Kittens Are Built Like Their Ancestors, Possessing A Biological Need For A Diet Rich And Varied In Animal Protein.

• With 40% richly nourishing protein from quality animal ingredients, ORIJEN nourishes cats and kittens according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
• 2/3 of ORIJEN’s meat is FRESH (refrigerated, no preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top 10 ingredients.
• 1/3 of meat ingredients are gently dehydrated at 90°C from fresh, free-run chicken & turkey, and wild-caught, fish to create a concentrated source of nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone.
• Nutrient-dense WholePrey ratios of fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone, plus wild-caught fish and cage-free eggs provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient your cat or kitten needs.
• Generous infusions of gently freeze-dried liver enhance flavour and palatability naturally, making ORIJEN deliciously tasty, even for choosy eaters.

The Near Eastern wildcat is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic cats. While years of breeding have produced different kinds of cats, the internal workings of wild and domestic cats 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 cats have evolved to eat.

RICH IN MEAT (85%) AND PROTEIN (40%)
All cats are adapted for a diet rich in meat and protein. Their sharp teeth and body mechanics are designed to metabolize protein and fat from meat. ORIJEN is created to nourish your cat or kitten according to her biological needs.

• 85% quality animal ingredients (2/3 FRESH or RAW; 1/3 gently dehydrated)
• 40% richly nourishing protein
• 15% vegetables and fruit
• NO grains or gluten

RICH MEAT INCLUSIONS (2/3)
Meat is the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN.

• 2/3 of the meat ingredients are FRESH or RAW, supplying your cat with essential nutrients in their most natural and nourishing form.
• 1/3 are 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, cats benefit from an assortment of meat. This variety is often lost in conventional cat 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 Cat & Kitten features a rich diversity of meat in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish your cat or kitten’s peak growth and development:

• Fresh free-run chicken from regional farms
• Fresh free-run turkey from regional farms
• Fresh, whole, wild-caught flounder and herring

WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS
WholePrey represents the evolution of ORIJEN foods, incorporating fresh 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 cat needs to thrive including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and amino acids.
• Cartilage or Edible Bone – a rich source of minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium in natural form your cat’s body can easily absorb.
