OUR ORIJEN ® INGREDIENTS

ORIJEN pet food is made from only the finest ingredients, and every step of formulating each diet is monitored and controlled from start to finish. Our ingredients are selected to be nutritious and nourishing, so your pet thrives.

WHAT DOES FRESH OR RAW MEAN? RANCH-RAISED MEAT

Every bag of ORIJEN food is packed with fresh or raw ingredients to ensure the highest nutritional value and flavor, requiring less supplementation in our diets.

Fresh: Our fresh ingredients use refrigeration as the sole method of preservation.

Raw: Our raw ingredients are frozen at their peak freshness.

Fact: We have over 25,000 square feet of cold storage in our Kentucky Kitchen to house our fresh and frozen ingredients before they are batched into ORIJEN kibble.

Premium Animal Ingredients

15 %

Our beef, bison and lamb come from animals who are typically raised on ranches where they are cared for by farmers who ensure they receive the appropriate nutrition. Our premium meats are high in protein and are a natural source of essential nutrients your pet requires.

FREE-RUN CHICKENS AND TURKEYS

Our free-run chicken and turkey are not housed in cages and are able to move in a barn without outdoor access. They are free from the threat of predators and have access to clean, fresh water and feed 100% of the time. The premium poultry used in ORIJEN pet food is packed with the animal protein your dog or cat needs.

CAGE-FREE EGGS

Our cage-free eggs come from hens that are raised in a barn. These hens are free to walk around the hen house, perch on roosts, and to lay eggs in nests. These high-quality eggs provide a great source of protein for dogs because they include essential amino acids that they need.

WILD-CAUGHT OR RESPONSIBLY

FARM-RAISED FISH

We work diligently to build partnerships with fisheries around the world, to provide us with a high quality, nutrient-rich array of fish. This includes both wild-caught and responsibly farm-raised fish. Our primary focus is to procure fish that will add essential proteins and healthy fats for balanced nutrition in every recipe we craft for your pet.
