BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE FREEZE-DRIED

Made with Free-run Poultry, Wild-caught fish & cage-free eggs

All dogs have evolved to eat a varied diet of whole poultry and fish, with small amounts of vegetables and fruit.


90% QUALITY ANIMAL INGREDIENTS | 100% RAW


BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE | EVOLUTIONARY DIET

POULTRY | ORGANS | BONE

We mirror Mother Nature by incorporating whole poultry, organs, and cartilage or bone to supply nutrients naturally, eliminating the unnecessary long lists of synthetic supplements that your dog doesn’t need.


100% poultry, eggs, fish, and vegetables and fruit are delivered to us raw, then gently freeze-dried in our kitchen with only natural preservatives, locking in the food’s nutritional integrity.


FREEZE-DRYING | THE ULTIMATE CONVENIENT RAW FOODS

ORIJEN Original freeze-dried food is gently freeze-dried, retaining all of the natural goodness of our quality ingredients without the addition of synthetic preservatives. Our freeze-dry kitchen is equipped with nitrogen tunnels which flash-freeze ingredients at extremely low temperatures (-55 to -70°F), locking in their vitalizing nutrients. An 18-hour freeze-drying process gently converts the water frozen in the ingredients into ice vapour. This means only water is removed from our ingredients, leaving behind all of their goodness in a concentrated form, creating a nourishing taste experience your dog will love.
