Biologically appropriate for senior dogs
Senior dogs are best fed a diet rich in protein to promote lean muscle mass and maintain 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.
Your dog is unique and his feeding requirements will vary with his environment, age, and activity. Start with the guides below, then monitor his weight and adjust portions as needed. Feed twice daily and always provide fresh, clean water.

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!
