NOURISH AS NATURE INTENDED

Your cat shares her eating anatomy with the Near Eastern wildcat, which means she’s evolved for a diet rich and varied in fresh meat, protein, and fat – not highly processed carbohydrates and starches.

YOUR CAT IS UNIQUE

Your cat or kitten is unique and her feeding requirements will vary with his environment, age, and activity. That’s why we suggest starting with the guides below, and then monitoring his weight and adjusting portions as needed. Feed twice daily and remember to always keep fresh, clean water available.

† Use a standard 8-ounce measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location. ORIJEN Regional Red Cat is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages.

CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

By providing more calories from protein and fat (and fewer from carbohydrates), ORIJEN distributes calories to mirror the natural feline diet. Calorie content (calculated): ME 4060 kcal/kg, 463 kcal per 8oz. cup. Calories distributed to support peak conditioning with 40% from protein, 17% from vegetables and fruit, and 44% from fat.

OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PHILOSOPHY

The Near Eastern wildcat is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic cats. While years of breeding have produced different kinds of cats, the internal workings of wild and domestic cats remain unchanged, so it’s no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too. Our five Biologically Appropriate principles are simple and mirror the freshness and variety of meat that cats have evolved to eat.

• RICH IN MEAT (90%) AND PROTEIN (40%)

  All cats are adapted for a diet rich in meat and protein. Their sharp teeth and body mechanics are designed to metabolize protein and fat from animal ingredients. ORIJEN is created to nourish your cat or kitten according to her biological needs.

  • 90% animal ingredients (2/3 fresh or raw; 1/3 gently dehydrated)
  • 40% richly nourishing protein
  • Our dried meat is prepared from fresh meat, and dried at 200 °F to create a concentrated source of nourishing meat protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone.
  • NO gluten or grains

• FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS (2/3)

  Fresh meat is the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN foods.

  • 2/3 of the meat ingredients are fresh or raw, supplying your cat with essential nutrients in their most natural and nourishing form
  • 1/3 are dehydrated at low temperatures for a concentrated source of nourishing meat protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone

• AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF MEAT

  In nature, cats benefit from an assortment of meat. This variety is often lost in conventional cat foods which typically feature a single animal ingredient, such as chicken or lamb, that is highly processed and seldom fresh. That’s why award-winning ORIJEN Regional Red features a rich diversity of fresh red meat and fish in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish your cat’s peak health:

  • Fresh, ranch-raised beef from Kentucky ranches
  • Fresh wild boar from Texas farms
  • Fresh Boer goat from Kentucky farms
  • Fresh grass-fed lamb from Kentucky farms
  • Fresh Yorkshire pork from Kentucky farms
  • Fresh, whole, wild-caught mackerel from New England’s Atlantic waters

• WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS

  Mother Nature matched the nutrients in whole animals to perfectly meet your cat’s needs. ORIJEN WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage or bone mirror nature and eliminate the need for long lists of synthetic ingredients, so only zinc is added. The WholePrey diet is a nutritional treasure:

  • Meat – essential for protein and fat as well as Vitamins A, B, D, and K, copper, chromium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc.
  • Organs – packed with virtually every nutrient your cat needs to thrive including vitamins, minerals, healthy fat, and amino acids.
  • Cartilage or Edible Bone – a rich source of minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium in natural form your cat’s body can easily absorb

• FRESH VEGETABLES & FRUIT (10%)

  While cats are obligate carnivores and have no biological requirement for carbohydrates, some cat foods still contain large amounts of potato and tapioca. Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN Regional Red is a protein-rich food featuring only fresh vegetables and fruit which release sugar slowly, dramatically reducing the potential for fat storage.
