Your puppy has the same digestive system as a gray wolf. This means he's adapted to a varied diet rich in meat, protein, and fat'€”not highly processed carbohydrates and starches.

With more calories from protein and fat than carbohydrates, Orijen Puppy Large mirrors the calorie distribution of a puppy's natural diet, reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes. Metabolizable energy is 3720 kcal/kg (446 kcal per 250ml/120g) of which 41% comes from protein, 39% from fruits and vegetables, and 20% from fat.

The gray wolf is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic dogs. Despite years of crossbreeding that have produced "different-looking wolves," the internal functions of dogs have remained unchanged, so it's no wonder their nutritional needs remain the same. Our 5 principles for Biologically Appropriate foods are simple and mirror the freshness and variety of a healthy diet. of the animal ingredients that dogs evolved with.

• Rich in Animal Ingredients (85%) and Protein (38%)

  Puppys' sharp teeth and anatomy are designed to metabolize protein and fat from meat. Orijen is Designed to provide puppies with all the nutrients they need to meet their biological needs.

  • 85% animal ingredients (2/3 Fresh or Raw and 1/3 Gently Dehydrated)
  • 38% Nutritious Meat Protein
  • 100% of animal ingredients come from animals declared fit for human consumption before being included in our foods.
  • Free from vegetable protein extracts or concentrates (potato or pea).
  • Free from high-glycemic carbohydrates (tapioca, potato, rice).
  • Free from gluten and grains.

• Unrivaled Quantity Fresh Meat Inclusions (2/3)

  Fresh meat is the foundation of award-winning Orijen foods.

  • 2/3 of the meat is Fresh or Raw to provide puppies with essential nutrients in their richest, most natural form.
  • 1/3 of the meat is dehydrated at low temperatures to create a concentrated source of nutritious protein that cannot be obtained from fresh meat alone.

• Abundant Variety of Meat Ingredients (5)

  In the wild, puppies can eat a rich variety of meat. Often, however, this variety is too rich for them to survive. This is not found in conventional puppy foods, which most often contain a single animal ingredient'€”usually chicken or lamb'€”that is highly processed and rarely fresh. That's why award-winning Orijen Puppy Large contains a rich diversity of fresh animal ingredients in Biologically Appropriate Wholeprey'„¢ ratios to provide the nutrients your puppy needs. Large breed puppies grow and develop at their best:

  • Fresh wild-raised chicken on prairie farms
  • Fresh wild-raised turkey on prairie farms
  • Fresh, whole eggs nest-laid on prairie farms
  • Fresh, whole Pacific-caught herring and sardines from North Vancouver Island

• Wholeprey Animal Ingredients

  Predators, like wolves and wild cats, eat the whole animal, so Mother Nature made sure they were fed whole prey. Orijen's Whole Prey'„¢ concept is the evolution of Orijen foods, featuring fresh meat, organs, and cartilage in ratios typically found in nature, eliminating the need for a long list of synthetic additives.

  • Meat '€“ essential for protein and fat, as well as vitamins A, B, D, and K, copper, chromium, folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc.
  • Organs '€“ packed with virtually every nutrient your puppy needs for optimal growth, including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and amino acids.
  • Edible Bone '€“ A rich source of minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium, in the natural form your puppy's body can easily absorb.

• Low Carbohydrate (20%)

  Orijen Biologically Appropriate Puppy food is High in protein and low in carbohydrates thanks to lentils, chickpeas, pumpkin, fruits, and vegetables, which release sugars gradually, drastically reducing the potential for fat accumulation.
