Orijen Dry Dog Food

Orijen Dry Dog Food

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE FOR DOGS OF ALL BREEDS
By nature, all dogs are faculative carnivores–they thrive on a varied diet, rich in meats with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses. Sizes (5.5lb, 15.4lb, 29.7lb)

Options (Adult Orijen, Puppy Orijen, Senior Orijen, Adult Large Breed, Large Breed Puppy)

High-protein, low-carbohydrate ORIJEN replicates the same rich and diverse nutrient balance from fresh meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that your dog would encounter in his natural setting.

Made with the highest inclusions of free-run chicken & turkey, whole eggs and wild-caught freshwater & saltwater fish—all farmed or fished within our region and delivered FRESH each day—ORIJEN is bursting with protein-packed, human-grade meats (min. 70%).

Free of the grains or carbohydrates that are inappropriate for your dog, ORIJEN ADULT DOG delivers a full complement of regional fruits and vegetables—russet potatoes, peas and black currants from prairie farms, red delicious apples and cranberries from the interior orchards, and organic sea vegetables from the cold North Pacific waters.

Caught off North Vancouver Island, our fresh (never frozen, no preservatives) salmon provide a superb, Biologically Appropriate source of Omega-3 (DHA and EPA) that support a vibrant skin and hair coat—your dog’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 and weeds while serving to nourish and tone the digestive tract.

Made exclusively in our award-winning, family-owned factory, Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN is a natural and delicious way to assure the peak health, vitality and happiness of your dog—no matter what his breed or size.

Rico – September ‘09

Rico Pet of the Month Sept 09
Rico Pet of the Month Sept 09

Rico’s Mom Christine writes “Rico came to our family when we least expected it.  Our 17 year old Cocker Spaniel, Brownie passed away in June of 2006 and my family couldn’t imagine going through another loss with a pet.  However, that all changed when my family and I went to visit relatives in Puerto Rico.  The number of strays and abandoned pets in Puerto Rico unfortunately, has been growing at an uncontrollable rate.  My family and I witnessed this first hand when a stray had a litter of puppies on my Aunt’s property. 

Knowing the probable fate of these beautiful and healthy 6 mixed puppies, friends and family came to action by unofficially adopting the puppies and their mother. I couldn’t leave the Island without becoming part of the effort and bringing one back to our home in Wesley Chapel.  Rico (named after the Island) has now been a member of the family for almost 6 months.  He has brought an immense amount of energy, happiness and laughter to our home.  Part Jack Russell Terrier, part Chihuahua and part unknown, he has learned commands quickly and will do just about anything for a tasty treat.  He loves to play soccer in the backyard as he defends and chases the ball back and fourth. When he’s not chasing a soccer ball twice his size, or watching cars, bicyclists and birds pass by; he gets a thrill from weaving as fast as he can under each piece of living room furniture during his high energy spurts. 

 He is our protector, our baby, our joy…he’s our little piece of Puerto Rico.”  You can find out more about how to help Puerto Rican strays, known as “Satos” at http://www.saveasato.rog
