Orijen Grain-Free Dry Cat Food

Description

By nature, all cats are carnivores, possessing a biological need for a diet that's high in protein and rich & varied in meats - not the carbohydrates and grains in conventional pet foods. High-protein, low-carbohydrate Orijen Cat replicates the same rich and diverse balance of fresh meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that your cat would encounter in a wilderness setting.

Made with the highest inclusions of free-range chicken & turkey, whole eggs, and wild-caught freshwater & saltwater fish - all farmed or fished within Orijen's region and delivered FRESH (never frozen) each day - Orijen Cat is bursting with protein-packed, human-grade meats (minimum 75%) that form a Biologically Appropriate diet, and none of the grains or carbohydrates that are inappropriate for your cat.

Instead of cereal grains, Orijen delivers a full complement of regional fruits and vegetables -russet potatoes, peas and black currants from prairie farms, red delicious apples and cranberries from interior orchards, and organic sea vegetables hand-harvested from Vancouver’s Pacific tidal range.

Fresh, never-frozen salmon are caught off North Vancouver Island and provide a superb, Biologically Appropriate source of Omega-3s (DHA and EPA) that nutritionally support a vibrant skin and hair coat - your cat’s outer symbol of health and vitality.

Bridging the gap between good nutrition and peak health are Orijen’s veterinarian selected botanicals, including dandelion root, sweet fennel and peppermint leaf - all of which mirror the natural instinct to forage for grasses, while serving to nourish and tone your cat's digestive tract.
