Surrounded by Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans and home to vast freshwater rivers and lakes, Canada’s marine harvest is perfectly suited to the Orijen nutritional philosophy of high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets made with maximum inclusions of fresh regional ingredients.  High-protein, low-carbohydrate and grain-free Orijen 6 Fish replicates the same rich balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting, but with single-source protein from fish and single-source carbohydrate from potato.

Made with the highest possible inclusions of human-grade fish ingredients (70%) - including fresh Canadian salmon, northern lake whitefish, lake trout, walleye, freshwater cod and herring - Orijen 6 Fish is literally bursting with highly-palatable and highly-digestible fish proteins, low temperature cooked at 90C to preserve their natural goodness.

Grain-free and very low in carbohydrate, each Orijen 6 Fish kibble is gently infused with fresh (not rendered) marine-source omega-3 fatty acids that are rich in EPA and DHA to support peak conditioning.

Hand-harvested sea vegetables from Canada’s nutrient rich tidal range - including kelp, Irish moss, dulse and bladder wrack - are rich in essential B vitamins, contain 44 trace minerals including zinc, manganese, selenium, and provide a natural yet balanced source of usable iodine.

Mirroring the instinct of wild canines to forage for grasses and weeds for medicinal purposes, Orijen’s prairie-grown botanicals include chicory and licorice root, sweet fennel, calendula flowers and peppermint leaf to help protect the liver, tone the digestive tract and support a healthy immune response.
