Biologically appropriate for senior dogs
Senior dogs are best fed a diet rich in protein to promote lean muscle mass and promote a healthy body weight. Orijen Senior Dry Dog Food provides its protein through fresh free-run chicken & turkey, cage-free eggs, and wild-caught fish
Key Benefits:
- With 38% richly nourishing protein, and 85% quality animal ingredients, ORIJEN nourishes all senior dogs according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
- 2/3 of the meat is FRESH (refrigerated, no preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top 10 meat ingredients.
- 1/3 of the meat is prepared at 90C, to create a concentrated source of richly nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone.
- Nutrient-dense WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage or bone, plus fresh whole fish and cage-free eggs provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient your senior dog needs.
- Infusions of gently freeze-dried liver enhance flavour and palatability naturally, making ORIJEN deliciously tasty, even for fussy eaters
Feeding Guidelines:
Your dog is unique and his feeding requirements will vary with his environment, age, and activity. That's why we suggest starting with the guides below, and then monitoring his weight and adjusting portions as needed. Feed twice daily and remember to always keep fresh, clean water available.

Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location. ORIJEN Senior is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance.
Calorie Distribution
ORIJEN Senior provides more calories from protein and fat and fewer from carbohydrates, providing a calorie distribution that mirrors the natural diet, reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes. Metabolizable Energy is 3630 kcal/kg (435 kcal per 250ml/120g cup) with calories distributed to support peak conditioning; 38% from protein, 21% from vegetables and fruits, and 37% from fat.
Nutritional Analysis:
Your dog shares his eating anatomy with the grey wolf, which means he's evolved for a diet rich and varied in fresh meat, protein, and fat not highly processed carbohydrates and starches.

No stomach issues with change to Senior food
My dog transitioned from Orijen 6 Fish to this senior food without any issues. He loves this product just as much as the 6 Fish!
