Our Ingredients
MEAT
Our beef, bison and lamb come from animals who are typically raised on farms where they are cared for by farmers who ensure they receive the appropriate nutrition. Our quality meats are high in protein and are a natural source of essential nutrients your pet requires.
Our Ingredients
Chickens and Turkeys
Our chicken and turkey are not housed in cages and are able to move in a barn without outdoor access. They are free from the threat of predators and have access to clean, fresh water and feed 100% of the time. The quality poultry used in ORIJEN pet food is packed with the animal protein your dog or cat needs.
Our Ingredients
Eggs
Our eggs come from hens that are raised in a barn. These hens are free to walk around the hen house, perch on roosts, and to lay eggs in nests. These high-quality eggs provide a great source of protein for dogs because they include essential amino acids that they need.
Our Ingredients
WILD-CAUGHT OR RESPONSIBLY FARM-RAISED FISH
We work diligently to build partnerships with fisheries around the world, to provide us with a high quality, nutrient-rich array of fish. This includes both wild-caught and responsibly farm-raised fish. Our primary focus is to procure fish that will add essential proteins and healthy fats for balanced nutrition in every recipe we craft for your pet.
Our Ingredients
Vegetable, fruit & botanicals*
In addition to the quality animal ingredients packed into our diets, ORIJEN diets also contain quality fruit, vegetables and botanicals sourced from partners we trust. These ingredients are added with your pet’s health in mind, and they provide source of nutrients. We also add essential vitamins and minerals, natural preservatives and probiotics.

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE

ORIJEN is derived from the latin term ‘origin’ – meaning source or beginning. Born from a desire to mirror the diet dogs and cats have evolved to eat, ORIJEN represents the fullest expression of our biologically appropriate food philosophy.

ORIJEN pioneered Biologically Appropriate food and WholePrey nutrition. That is why fresh or raw meat**, poultry, fish, and nutrient-rich organs are always the first FIVE ingredients in ORIJEN.
