YOUR DOG IS UNIQUE

Your dog is unique and his 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 Six Fish Dog is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages, except for growth of large size dogs (70 lb or more as an adult).

CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

Calorie content (calculated): ME 3900 kcal/kg, (445 kcal per 8oz. cup). Calories distributed to support peak conditioning with 39% from protein, 19% from vegetables and fruit, and 42% from fat.

OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PHILOSOPHY

The gray wolf is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic dogs. While years of breeding have produced hundreds of ‘different-looking wolves’, the internal workings of wolves and dogs 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 and fish that dogs have evolved to eat.

• RICH IN FISH (85%) AND PROTEIN (38%)

  All dogs are adapted for a diet rich in meat and protein. Their sharp teeth and body mechanics are designed to metabolize protein and fat from fish and meat. ORIJEN is created to nourish your dog according to his biological needs.

  • 85% fish (2/3 fresh or raw and 1/3 gently dehydrated)
  • 38% richly nourishing fish protein
  • Our dried fish is prepared at 200°F from fresh, whole fish to create a concentrated source of protein (not the industry standard of bones and trimmings)
  • NO gluten or grains

• FRESH FISH INCLUSIONS (2/3)

  Meat is the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN foods.

  • 2/3 of fish are fresh or raw, supplying your dog with essential nutrients in their most natural and nourishing form.
  • 1/3 are dried and prepared at a low temperature from fresh fish, to create a concentrated source of nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh fish alone.

• AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF FISH

  In nature, dogs benefit from an assortment of meat and fish. This variety is often lost in conventional dog 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 Six Fish features a rich diversity of fresh fish in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish for peak health:

  • Fresh, whole, wild mackerel from New England’s Atlantic waters
  • Fresh, whole, wild herring from New England’s Atlantic waters
  • Fresh, whole, wild flounder from New England’s Atlantic waters
  • Fresh, whole, wild redfish from New England’s Atlantic waters
  • Fresh, whole, wild monkfish from New England’s Atlantic waters
  • Fresh, whole, wild silver hake from New England’s Atlantic waters

• WHOLEPREY RATIOS

  Mother Nature matched the nutrients in whole animals to perfectly meet your dog’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 and copper are added. The WholePrey diet is a nutritional treasure:

  • Fish – 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 dog’s 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 a natural form that your dog’s body can easily absorb.

• FRESH VEGETABLES & FRUIT

  While dogs (and puppies) have no nutritional requirement for carbohydrates, some puppy foods still contain large amounts of potato and tapioca. Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN Six Fish is a protein-rich food featuring only fresh vegetables and fruit which release sugar slowly, dramatically reducing the potential for fat storage.
