The Glycemic Research Institute in Washington, DC announced in December that it had selected ORIJEN from Champion Petfoods, for the third successive year, as the 'Pet Food of the Year for 2011-2012'. The Pet Food of the Year is a global award presented by the Glycemic Research Institute®, for the Best Overall Healthiest Pet Food
Biologically Appropriate diets have key differences that separate them from conventional pet foods:
1) High-protein from fresh and various meats
2) Low carbohydrate and Grain FREE
3) Fruits and vegetables instead of grain
4) Fats from meat and fish, not plants
5) Health promoting botanicals
6) Balance without excess
Orijen uses use ingredients that are sustainably raised within our region by people we know and trust, approved ' fit for human consumption,' and then delivered to our door FRESH.
And because all cats are carnivores - evolved to thrive on a varied diet rich in meats, with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses - ORIJEN CAT & KITTEN features a Biologically Appropriate (80.20.0) ingredient ratio of 80% meat, 20% fruit and vegetables, and 0% grain - all slow-cooked at low temperatures to retain their natural goodness.
All cats are adapted for a diet rich and diverse in meat proteins - not grains and plant proteins. With 80% of poultry, eggs, meat and fish,ORIJEN CAT & KITTEN features high ratios of meat and protein to mirror the natural diet.
The natural diet is seasonal and diverse, so ORIJEN features 6 fresh meats, including free-run chicken and turkey, chicken liver, and whole eggs, and a superb selection of wild-caught fish - all delivered fresh each day!
NO DRY CAT FOOD ON EARTH MATCHES THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF ORIJEN'S FRESH MEAT INGREDIENTS.
