ORIJEN Original Cat and Kitten Dry Formula Cat Food

Orijen Cat & Kitten Dry Cat Food is a grain-free biologically appropriate formula for all cats and kittens of all breeds, containing 90% premium fish, poultry and eggs with 20% fruits, vegetables and botanicals. Free-run chicken and turkey, whole eggs and wild-caught fish are farmed or fished within the Kentucky region by people known and trusted by Champion Petfoods, delivered fresh daily. The first 5 ingredients are FRESH MEAT, which are low in calcium and phosphorus, helping to make the formula balanced! Using this high amount of fresh meat gives the kibble a unique shape, smell and color. All cats and kittens are carnivores, possessing a biological need for a high-protein diet that’s rich and varied in meats with smaller amounts of fruits,vegetables and grasses.

Orijen Cat & Kitten Dry Cat Food is bursting with the protein-packed, veterinary-inspected meats that form a Biologically Appropriate diet of 40% protein and limited to only 20% low-glycemic carbohydrates. This formula also features both regional freshwater and saltwater fish, loaded with natural, non-rendered omega-3 fatty acids. Quality is never outsourced!

Biologically appropriate omega-3 (DHA, EPA) is from fresh fish, not inappropriate sunflower, flax or canola oils (ALA) which are ineffective in the body of a cat. These fatty acids support peak conditioning and a vibrant skin and hair coat – your cat’s outer symbol of health and vitality. The fresh poultry, meats and fish provide a rich natural source of taurine (0.2%), without adding synthetic ingredients to the formula.

As a grain-free, low-carbohydrate formula, Orijen Cat & Kitten contains a full compliment of regional fruits and vegetables to match your cat’s natural diet, fortified with antioxidants, vitamins and chelated minerals. It contains less than half of the carbohydrates found in conventional cat foods. Mirroring the instinct to forage for medicinal grasses and weeds, Orijens botanicals include chicory and sarsaparilla root, sweet fennel,
