BACK TO THE BEGINNING!

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, fresh regional ingredient, never outsourced philosophy.

Inspired by a natural diet of whole prey animals, ORIJEN features unmatched and unique inclusions of meat, providing virtually everything your dog or cat needs to thrive.

With a reputation of trust spanning more than 30 years, ORIJEN gives you peace of mind and keeps your cherished companion happy, healthy, and strong.

Just like their ancestor, the grey wolf, all dogs are meant to eat a diet rich and varied in whole animal ingredients. ORIJEN Original is made with meat, organs, cartilage, and bone from free-run chicken and turkey, wild-caught fish, and cage-free eggs that are delivered to our kitchen. Two-thirds of our animal ingredients are FRESH or RAW, for a concentrated source of protein. With richly nourishing protein and infusions of the freeze-dried liver, this recipe nourishes your dog as nature intended while offering them a flavor that they’ll love.

ORIJEN Original Dog is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by FEDIAF for All Life Stages, except for the growth of Great Dane puppies prior to 14 weeks.
