ORIJEN - HEALTHY AND NATURAL PET FOOD

From Chihuahuas to the Mastiff, domestic dogs carry the same DNA patterns and share a single evolutionary origin, wolf-like ancestry. Just like their wild cousins, modern dogs and cats are still carnivores - equipped with sharp teeth, a short and acidic (Ph of 1.0) digestive system that's primarily tuned to run on quality protein. WHY therefore, do almost all commericial petfoods today base grains and carbs as their main ingredients ... ? READ ON

The skinny on Petfood

Were you aware that almost exactly what happened last year with Fonterra / San Lu, the baby milk powder contaminated with melamine occurred in 2007 in North America with Pet Foods. This time 17,000 pets were reported as ill with an estimated 20% dieing from acute renal failure. It resulted in the largest ever multi-million dollar pet food recall in history across the US in over 100 product lines.

Additionally, banned and potentially carcinogenic causing preservatives that would not be allowed in the human food industry can completely legally be included in our pets food - still.

Grains and low cost fillers that have more to do with economics than actual nutrition are primary ingredients in industry leading pet foods. Carnivores are unable to get the full goodness they require from grains and carbs - yet every commercial dried dog food in NZ has a heavy emphasis on grains, more often than not as their primary ingredients!

Farm-Fresh Regional Meats

With multiple sources of fresh, never frozen human-grade meats - including chicken, turkey, farm-fresh eggs and fresh caught fish - Orijen contains the highest inclusions and widest variety of fresh regional meats to match the natural diet.

Wild-caught Regional Fish

including Chinook Salmon, Lake Whitefish, Lake Trout, Freshwater Cod, Herring and Walleye are wild-caught from cold Northern lakes and Pacific seas, passed 'fit for human consumption' and delivered to our door FRESH each day.

High Protein - Low Carbohydrate Formulas

Biologically correct, High-Protien and Low-Carbohydrate ORIJEN diets promote peak physical conditioning in dogs and cats by matching their real nutritional needs while keeping in mind their modern lifestyles and reduced calorie requirements.

Essential Oils

ORIJEN is infused with essential oils from chicken, salmon, anchovies and herring, flax and sunflower. ORIJEN is a potent and balanced source of un-rendered Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids, including high levels of DHA and EPA to support healthy brain, retina and nerve functions.

Rich In Regional Fruits

Instead of grains, ORIJEN is rich in regional fruits, vegetables and botanicals - healthful ingredients that better match the natural diet and supply important protector nutrients and valuable enzymes that enhance immunity and wellness.

Sea Vegetables

Kelp, Irish Moss, Dulse and Bladderwrack are a valuable source for a variety of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes and phytochemicals. Sea Vegetables absorb toxins from the bowel, enhance metabolism and nourish the body.

Natural And Organic Minerals

Essential for the formation of blood and bones and the composition of body fluids, minerals are critical nutrients. ORIJEN diets supply all trace minerals in organic form. Calcium and phosphorus naturally present from the meat concentrated formulations - just like nature intended.

HIGH IN PROTEIN

Containing a minimum of 70% fresh, PREMIUM meat ingredients - in every kibble, Orijen has the highest level of meat and protein than any other dried pet food available. Dogs and cats are carnivores and a primarily protein focused diet most closely mirrors that of their wild cousins and is therefore more bio-logically appropriate.

GRAIN FREE

Simply put, Grains have no place in a carnivorous diet at all and are just low cost, cheap fillers. All too common in almost every commercially prepared, dried pet food - Grains are widely attributed with being the leading cause of allergies, diabetes, obesity and a host of other health problems in modern pets today.

LOW CARB

Dog and Cat (carnivore) digestive tracts lack enzymes for processing and have absolutely no nutritional requirement for carbohydrates and grains. Ask yourself, why therefore do almost all commercially prepared pet foods contain more grains and carbohydrates than any other food group?

FRESH VEGES

Unlike the so-called holistic diets that often contain a token gesture of fruit and veges, Orijen ingredients are formulated with a minimum of 25% fresh fruit, veges, prairie grown botanicals and sea vegetables. Specially selected for their balance of vitamins, minerals and disease fighting properties, Orijen contains the highest levels of these heath promoting foods.

HEALTHY

Orijen uses no imported ingredients, all fresh (delivered daily - never frozen), human grade, premium, regional Canadian ingredients. Absolutely no potentially carcinogenic causing artificial preservatives and slowly cooked in small batches at low temperatures to retain all the goodness. Nourish as nature intended.
