Biologically Appropriate for Cats & Kittens of ALL BREEDS
Surrounded by Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans and home to vast clean, cold freshwater lakes, Canada's marine harvest is perfectly suited to the ORIJEN philosophy of Biologically Appropriate pet foods from fresh regional ingredients.
Bursting with wild-caught fish (min. 75%) including six varieties of FRESH, never-frozen, human-grade regional fish - Chinook, Coho and Sockeye salmon, lake whitefish, lake trout, northern walleye, freshwater cod and herring - ORIJEN CAT & KITTEN 6 FISH is loaded with premium fresh fish proteins that optimally nourish your cat, without any of the grains or carbohydrates that are inappropriate for cats.
Infused with fresh (not rendered) marine-source Omega-3 essential fatty acids, ORIJEN is especially rich in EPA and DHA to support peak conditioning and a vibrant skin and hair coat - your cat's outer symbol of health and vitality.
Grain-free and low-carbohydrate, ORIJEN contains a full complement of regional fruits and vegetables including sweet and russet potatoes, sun-cured alfalfa, black currants and sunflower from local farms, and apples and cranberries from the interior orchards.
Sea vegetables hand-harvested from Canada's nutrient rich tidal range - including kelp, dulse and bladder wrack - are rich in essential B vitamins and trace minerals including zinc, manganese, selenium.
Mirroring the instinct to forage for medicinal grasses and weeds, ORIJEN's botanicals include chicory and licorice root, sweet fennel, calendula flowers and peppermint leaf - all of which replicate the natural diet, helping nourish the digestive tract and strengthen the liver.
Your cat is as healthy as the food she eats. ORIJEN is a naturally delicious way to keep her healthy, happy and strong.
Ingredients
ORIJEN CAT & KITTEN 6 FISH is formulated with a Biologically Appropriate ingredient ratio (75/25/0) of 75% meat, 25% fruit and vegetables (and 0% grain)-all slow-cooked at low temperatures to retain their natural goodness.
ORIJEN's fresh, never-frozen meats are raised or fished within our region and delivered to us daily by people we know and trust.
