ORIJEN Puppy Food - Biologically Appropriate for All Breeds and Sizes
By nature, puppies are facultative carnivores - they thrive on a varied diet of meats with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses, and are biologically adapted to process proteins as an energy source.
High in protein and low in carbohydrate, ORIJEN PUPPY's grain-free formula replicates the same rich and diverse balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that puppies and young dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting.
Made with the highest inclusions of fresh grain-fed chicken, 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 puppy.
Instead of grain, ORIJEN contains a full complement of regional fruits and vegetables (minimum 30%) that supply important natural antioxidants and phytochemicals.
Chicken, flax, sunflower, salmon and anchovy oils provide the essential fatty acids that dogs cannot produce themselves (including DHA and EPA) and that nutritionally support the development of cell membranes and immune systems as well as vibrant skin and hair coat,—your puppy's outer symbol of health and vitality.
Bridging the gap between good nutrition and total physical well-being, ORIJEN Puppy contains veterinarian selected native botanicals that include marshmallow, burdock and chicory root, stinging nettle and milk thistle,— all of which replicate the natural canine diet and help to soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract, strengthen the liver and control insulin levels.
Take a moment to read or ingredients and we think you’ll agree: Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN Puppy is a natural and delicious way to ensure the health and vitality of your puppy - no matter what his breed, age or size.
