ORIJEN Senior Dog Food
When it comes to taking care of your senior dog, nothing is more important than ensuring he gets the proper nutrition to keep him in peak condition during his older years. ORIJEN Senior Dog Food is perfectly suited to the specific needs of an older dog, particularly in the area that science says is the most crucial for elderly canines – protein. Full of free-run turkey and chicken, nest-laid eggs and wild-caught fish, your dog will get everything his body requires to keep him healthy for years to come.
For a long time, a myth floated around the dog owners’ community that said older dogs shouldn’t have large amounts of protein because it could lead to kidney failure. More recent scientific research has shown that this simply isn’t true. In fact, according to studies, protein requirements actually increase by 50% as dogs reach their senior years. Taking into account the dog’s natural need for a high level of protein, inherited from his wolf forebearers, that means that older dogs need a significant amount of richly nourishing animal protein to stay healthy. ORIJEN meets this need by offering ORIJEN Senior Dog Food – a biologically appropriate solution that contains 85% poultry, fish or egg ingredients, adding up to a whopping 38% protein content. It all comes from meat that is two-thirds fresh or raw and one-third dried without preservatives, so your dog gets the best of flavor, freshness and nutrients.
You’ll notice that ORIJEN Senior Dog Food’s ingredient list is pretty short. That’s because ORIJEN takes a different approach in getting your older dog his vitamins. Rather than including a long list of synthetic supplements, ORIJEN Senior Dog Food is made with whole prey ratios of meat: nutrient-dense organs, cartilage, whole eggs and whole fish accompany the meat into the mix. Just like Mother Nature intended, your hunter (evolved as he may be) can benefit from this natural and whole source of vitamins and minerals.
Entrusting your aging dog’s health to a dog food product is no small thing. ORIJEN makes the decision a little easier by guaranteeing that ORIJEN Senior Dog Food is never outsourced, but always made in ORIJEN’s own kitchens with the strictest standards of quality and from fresh, local ingredients. In this crucial time of your dog’s life, choose ORIJEN Senior Dog Food to ensure many more happy years together.
