ORIJEN SENIOR is made with a Biologically Appropriate ingredient ratio (70/30/0) of 70% meat, 30% fruit and vegetables (and 0% grain).ORIJEN's fresh, never-frozen meats are raised or fished within our region and delivered to us daily by people we know and trust. Unequalled in any other dry pet food, ORIJEN SENIOR features a minimum of 6 fresh meats to better match the various foods Nature intended puppies to eat. Fresh chicken and turkey cartilage provides a natural and high source of glucosamine and chondroitin.Veterinary selected botanicals soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract while strengthening the liver. Omega-3 (DHA, EPA) is from fresh fish, NOT sunflower, flax or canola oils (ALA) which are ineffective in the body of a dog.
We use ingredients that are sustainably raised within our region by people we know and trust, approved ' fit for human consumption,' and then delivered to our door FRESH.And as dogs of all breeds and sizes are carnivores - evolved to thrive on a varied diet rich in meats, with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses - ORIJEN SENIOR features a Biologically Appropriate (75.25.0) ingredient ratio of 75% meat, 25% fruit and vegetables, and 0% grain - all slow-cooked at low temperatures to retain their natural goodness.All dogs are adapted for a diet rich and diverse in meat proteins - not grains and plant proteins. With 75% of poultry, eggs, meat and fish, ORIJEN SENIOR features high ratios of meat and protein to mirror the natural diet.The natural diet is seasonal and diverse, so ORIJEN SENIOR features six fresh meats including free-run chicken and turkey, chicken liver, and whole eggs, and a superb selection of wild-caught fish - all delivered fresh each day! NO DRY DOG FOOD ON EARTH MATCHES THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF ORIJEN'S FRESH MEAT INGREDIENTS.
BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE FOR SENIOR DOGS OF ALL BREEDSAs dogs age, their bodies become less efficient at metabolising the proteins which are vital to maintaining their muscle mass and physical conditioning.Please read our White Paper and learn more about the concept of Biologically Appropriate Food (PDF - 219Kb)In addition to more dietary protein, senior dogs require fewer calories and, more importantly, fewer carbohydrates-a primary contributor to the obesity and diabetes common in today's senior dogs.And while current veterinary science is clear and unanimous in its finding that low protein does more harm than good, most conventional diets are still formulated with lower protein & higher carbohydrates-exactly what senior dogs DON'T need.In order to supply the quality meat proteins that older dogs need, ORIJEN SENIOR dog food is bursting with free-run chicken & turkey, whole eggs, and wild-caught freshwater & saltwater fish- all farmed or fished within our region and delivered to our door fresh (never frozen) each day.Grain-free and naturally low in carbohydrates, ORIJEN SENIOR dog food features regional fruits and vegetables including sweet & russet potatoes, green peas and black currants from local prairie farms, red delicious apples and cranberries from interior orchards, and organic sea vegetables from North Vancouver Island.Fresh, wild-caught fish provide a rich source of biologically appropriate Omega-3 (DHA and EPA) to nutritionally support the immune system and a vibrant skin and hair coat-your senior dog's outer symbol of health and vitality.Bridging the gap between good nutrition and total physical well-being, veterinarian selected botanicals include dandelion root, sweet fennel and peppermint leaf-all of which soothe, tone the digestive tract, strengthen the liver and help control insulin levels.Made exclusively in our family-owned & award-winning factory, Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN SENIOR dog food is a naturally delicious way to ensure a long, healthy life for your trusted companion.
