Biologically appropriate for all life stages.
From dachshunds to great danes, all dogs possess a biological need for a diet rich and varied in meat. ORIJEN Original Dry Dog Food is packed with fresh free-run chicken & turkey, cage-free eggs, and wild-caught fish.
Your dog shares his eating anatomy with the grey wolf, which means he is evolved for a diet rich and varied in meat, protein, and fat—not highly processed carbohydrates and starches.
