Description
Biologically appropriate for all life stages.
Cats and kittens are built like their ancestors, possessing a biological need for a diet rich and varied in animal protein. Orijen cat and kitten fills this need with Fresh free-run chicken & turkey, cage-free eggs, and wild-caught fish.
Key Benefits:
- With 40% richly nourishing protein from quality animal ingredients, ORIJEN nourishes cats and kittens according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
- 2/3 of ORIJEN's meat is FRESH (refrigerated, no preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top 10 ingredients.
- 1/3 of meat ingredients are gently dehydrated at 90C from fresh, free-run chicken & turkey, and wild-caught, fish to create a concentrated source of nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone.
- Nutrient-dense WholePrey ratios of fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone, plus wild-caught fish and cage-free eggs provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient your cat or kitten needs.
- Generous infusions of gently freeze-dried liver enhance flavour and palatability naturally, making ORIJEN deliciously tasty, even for choosy eaters.
Nutritional Analysis:
Although they may look different, your cat shares her DNA and eating anatomy with the Near Eastern wildcat, which means she's adapted for a diet rich and varied in meat.
