ORIJEN Regional Red Dog Food
Your dog’s wild ancestors once enjoyed a diet made up of a variety of fresh meats that gave them all the protein their bodies demanded. Now, it’s more likely that domestic dogs live on single animal ingredient dog foods that are neither fresh nor diverse – a diet that simply can’t give them the nutrients they need to remain at peak health. ORIJEN goes against the norm by loading ORIJEN Regional Red with Angus beef, Boer goat, Romney lamb, wild boar, Yorkshire pork and wild-caught mackerel, making a grand total of 85% meat and fish ingredients and six varieties. When it comes to mirroring the natural canine diet, ORIJEN is unmatched.
Choosing ORIJEN means choosing the most trusted brand to get your dog’s food to him with the least amount of processing possible. Two-thirds of ORIJEN Regional Red’s meat ingredients are fresh or raw, and the final third of gently dehydrated meat packs a protein-filled punch that fresh meat alone can’t attain. All ingredients reach the kitchens daily with a guarantee that they are fit for human consumption. How can you be sure of all this? Because ORIJEN Regional Red isn’t outsourced to a third-party factory that makes many different kinds of dog food. Every detail – from developing the recipes to actually preparing the food – is handled by ORIJEN, and every ingredient comes from trusted local suppliers.
It’s easy to forget that man’s best friend shares a family with the wolf, but your dog hasn’t evolved as much as you might think. The teeth, jaws and digestive system of the domestic dog are all geared towards a whole prey meat diet, just like the wolf. To accommodate this, ORIJEN Regional Red includes edible bone, organs and meat, all adding up to create the perfect nutrient-filled meal. The whole prey diet also greatly reduces the need to pack dog food with synthetic additives – zinc is the only mineral added to ORIJEN Regional Red.
If you’re wondering what the non-meat ingredients that make up 15% of ORIJEN Regional Red are, you can rest assured they’re not nutritionally void glutens or grains. Lentils, squash, chickpeas, fruits and greens are chosen because they are biologically appropriate, offering protein but limiting carbohydrates. It’s safe to say that when it comes to guaranteeing nutrition, ORIJEN Regional Red goes above and beyond.
