Biologically Appropriate for all Breeds and Sizes

By nature, puppies are facultative carnivores - they thrive on a varied diet of meats with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses.  Biologically adapted to process proteins as an energy source, puppies need animal protein for healthy growth and building strong organs, skin and coat.

High in protein and low in carbohydrate, ORIJEN PUPPY has a grain-free formula that replicates the same rich and diverse balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that puppies and young dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting.

Made with the highest inclusions of fresh grain-fed chicken and turkey, wild-caught northern whitefish, fresh whole eggs and salmon—all delivered to our door fresh, never frozen— ORIJEN is bursting with the protein-packed, veterinary-inspected meats (minimum 75%) that form a Biologically Appropriate diet, without any of the grains or carbohydrates that are inappropriate for your puppy.

In place of grains, ORIJEN PUPPY contains a full compliment of regional fruits and vegetables including sweet and russet potatoes, black currants and sunflower from the prairie farms, apples and cranberries from the interior orchards, and sea vegetables from the pacific tidal range. While providing limited carbohydrate, these fruits and vegetables supply vitamins, macro and micro minerals and important protector nutrients in a natural, bioavailable form.

Fresh, unrendered chicken and fish oils provide a superior source of essential fatty acids that dogs cannot produce themselves (including DHA and EPA) and nutritionally support the development of cell membranes and immune systems as well as vibrant skin and hair coat,—your puppy's outer symbol of health and vitality.

Bridging the gap between good nutrition and total physical well-being, ORIJEN PUPPY contains veterinarian selected botanicals that include psyllium and chicory root, dandelion, sweet fennel and peppermint leaf — all of which replicate the natural canine diet and help to soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract, strengthen the liver and control insulin levels.

Read our ingredients and we think you’ll agree: Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN PUPPY is a natural and delicious way to ensure the health and vitality of your puppy - no matter what his breed, age or size.

The anatomical specialization of Puppies to a high protein meat based diet can be seen in the length of their gastro-intestinal tract, the development of their teeth and jaws, and their lack of the digestive enzymes needed to break down carbohydrate.

The Biologically Appropriate nutritional analysis for ORIJEN Puppy is high in meat proteins and fats, and very low in carbohydrate – exactly what Nature intended puppies to eat.

Organic calcium and phosphorus are naturally balanced for growing bones and teeth, and essential fatty acids - including DHA and EPA from fresh Lake Whitefish - nutritionally support immune and nervous system development.

Naturally occurring probiotic bacteria (microorganisms) promote healthy bacterial flora in the intestinal tract, and select botanicals help soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract, and control insulin levels.
