Product Description

Reflecting our rich marine resources, and meeting your dog's evolutionary need for abundant daily protein, we load ORIJEN 6 FISH with high ratios of salmon, herring and flounder from Vancouver's cool Pacific Northwest waters, plus wild-caught whitefish, walleye and northern pike from our cold northern lakes — all delivered FRESH and preservative-free, so they're bursting with the essential proteins and fats that nourish your dog completely.

Carbohydrate-limited and grain-free to match your dog's natural diet, ORIJEN 6 FISH supplies a broad selection of regional fruits and vegetables that are naturally rich in phytonutrients, B-vitamins and trace minerals.

Veterinarian-selected botanicals — including sea vegetables, juniper berries and marigold flowers — mirror the instinct to forage for grasses and weeds.

Product Information

ALTHOUGH THEY MAY LOOK VERY DIFFERENT, YOUR DOG SHARES HIS EATING ANATOMY WITH THE GREY WOLF — WHICH MEANS HE'S EVOLVED AS A CARNIVORE AND ADAPTED FOR A DIET RICH IN MEAT — NOT CARBOHYDRATES AND GRAINS.

Based on this biological fact, and to produce a nutritional analysis that mirrors the diet Mother Nature would provide for your dog, ORIJEN 6 FISH for DOGS is loaded with a diversity of nourishing fish proteins and oils, but is limited in carbohydrate.

RICH in FISH and PROTEIN | 80% / 38%

ORIJEN 6 FISH DOG is made with a full 80% of premium fish from wild-caught freshwater and saltwater fish. These high fish inclusions produce a Biologically Appropriate protein level of 38%, which replicates the natural diet and nourishes your dog according to his anatomical adaptation to meat protein.

RICH in FISH OILS | 18%

Animal fats and oils are essential for the peak health of all dogs — that's why ORIJEN is free of plant oils and only features fats of premium animal source. Instead of the highly-processed rendered fats used by conventional pet food makers, over 80% of the fats in ORIJEN occur naturally from high inclusions of fresh never-frozen fish.

DHA & EPA from FRESH FISH | 1.0% / 0.6%

Fresh fish is a perfect source of highly digestible and Biologically Appropriate DHA and EPA Omega-3 fatty acids. Essential for your dog's immune and nervous systems, as well as a glowing skin and hair coat, these richly nourishing fatty acids are not available from plant oils such as flax, coconut or sunflower.

GRAIN-FREE & CARBOHYDRATE LIMITED | 0% / 25%

Your dog's natural diet contains very few, if any, grains or carbohydrates. That's why Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN is grain-free and contains less than half the carbohydrates found in conventional dog foods.

LIMITED CALCIUM & PHOSPHORUS | 1.6% / 1.4%

The potential oversupply of calcium and phosphorus in high-protein dog foods is cause for concern. High inclusions of chicken meal, fish meal or turkey meal used to increase protein levels also provide a rich source of minerals and push calcium and phosphorus levels to the upper allowable limits of, respectively, 2.5% and 1.6%.

GLUCOSAMINE & CHONDROITIN | 1250mg / 1000mg

ORIJEN's high ratios of fresh fish provide a rich source of glucosamine and chondroitin, which is derived naturally from the fresh meat ingredients — without adding synthetic ingredients to the formula.

VETERINARIAN SELECTED BOTANICALS

Providing the element of your dog's natural diet that he craves when foraging for grasses and weeds, ORIJEN's veterinarian-selected botanicals help support your dog's metabolism, strengthen his organs, and serve as cleansers to rid his body of toxins.
