Orijen Senior Dry Dog Food (All Breeds)

As your pet grows older and moves on to a new life-stage, his or her nutritional needs also change. Orijen Senior dog food is a special diet that provides more calories from protein and fat rather than from carbohydrates. This helps to maintain a healthy weight for your senior pet. This dry food formula contains a Biologically Appropriate protein level of 38% to promote lean muscle mass.

Biologically Appropriate:

Descended from wolves, our dogs are carnivores by nature. Their biological make-up means that they need nutrients from meat to thrive. So a species-appropriate diet for dogs means plenty of meat inclusions. Orijen dog foods aim to provide your pet with kibble that falls in line with his or her biological needs.

Wholeprey Ratios:

Orijen's philosophy is to nourish your pet as nature intended. This means including a variety of meats to your pet's diet and in natural, whole prey ratios. This food contains cartilage, organ meat and bones as well to give your pet minerals and vitamins from natural sources. Zinc is the only added supplement.

Meat Math:

85% of this food is made with meat and 15% is botanicals. Of the animal ingredients included in this food, 2/3rds is fresh or raw. It also included Freeze-dried liver infused kibble to make the food that much tastier. The meat is from 5 different sources of poultry or fish.

• 85% Protein content, 15% botanicals
• 0% grains, potato, tapioca
• Meat inclusions are from 6 different sources
• 2/3rd of the meat inclusions are fresh or frozen without preservatives
• 1/3rd of the meat are dehydrated without preservatives
• Freeze-dried chicken and turkey liver makes this meal more tempting for dogs

We recommend that you:

• Consult a vet before altering your pet's diet
• Always have fresh water available for your pet
• Never feed above recommended quantities unless prescribed by a vet

HUFT Tip:

Senior dogs need extra care as they age because their bones get weaker. They need to be fed low-calorie diets to prevent any unnecessary weight that will add stress to their joints and bones.
