Biologically appropriate for all life stages, fresh Angus beef, wild boar, plains bison, Romney lamb and Yorkshire pork, our philosophy on biologically appropriate foods is simple: reproduce the quantity, freshness and variety of animal ingredients with which cats have evolved.
With 40% rich and nutritious proteins and a low glycemic index carbohydrate content limited to 17%, ORIJEN provides cats of all breeds and at every stage of their life with the nutrients necessary to meet their biological needs.
Unlike any other cat food, 2/3 of ORIJEN's animal ingredients are FRESH (refrigerated, no preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the 10 main ingredients.
1/3 of the animal ingredients are gently dehydrated at 90°C to create a rich concentrated source of protein that is not obtainable from fresh animal ingredients alone.
Nutrient-rich animal ingredients, combined with fresh organs and cartilage, in WholePrey™ proportions provide virtually all the nutrients your cat needs - the only additives are zinc, copper and choline.
The liver infusions, delicately freeze-dried, intensify the flavor and palatability in a natural way, thus making ORIJEN delicious even for the most demanding animal palates.
IS YOUR CAT'S FOOD BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE?
Just like their wild cousins, cats evolved as hunters, so their teeth, jaws and digestive systems have adapted to diets rich in meat characterized by the freshness and diversity of the latter. Biologically Appropriate cat foods mimic the natural diet and answer 3 questions about animal ingredients:

YOUR CAT IS UNIQUE
Your cat or kitten is unique and its dietary needs vary depending on its environment, age and activity level.

OUR PHILOSOPHY ON BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE FOOD
The African wildcat is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic cats. Although years and years of crossbreeding have produced different cat breeds, the internal functions of wild and domestic cats have remained unchanged, so it is no wonder that their dietary needs have remained unchanged. Our 5 Biologically Appropriate principles are simple and reflect the freshness and variety of animal ingredients that cats have evolved with.
