NOURISH AS NATURE INTENDED

Your dog shares his eating anatomy with the gray wolf, which means he’s evolved for a diet rich and varied in fresh meat, protein, and fat – not highly processed carbohydrates and starches.

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 Tundra is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.

CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

ORIJEN Tundra provides more calories from protein and fat and fewer from carbohydrates, providing a calorie distribution that mirrors a natural diet. Metabolizable Energy is 3860 kcal/kg (460 kcal per 250ml/120g cup) with calories distributed to support peak conditioning; 41% from protein, 17% 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 that dogs have evolved to eat.

• QUALITY ANIMAL INGREDIENTS (85%) AND PROTEIN (40%)

  All dogs have sharp teeth and a body designed to metabolize protein and fat from meat. ORIJEN is designed to nourish your dog according to his evolutionary and biological needs.

  • 85% quality animal ingredients (2/3 fresh or raw; 1/3 gently dehydrated)
  • 40% richly nourishing meat protein
  • Our dried ingredients are prepared from fresh animal ingredients, and prepared at 90°C to create a concentrated source of protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone
  • NO gluten or grains

• FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS (2/3)

  Meat is the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN foods.

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

• AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF MEAT

  In nature, dogs benefit from an assortment of meat. 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 Tundra features a rich diversity of fresh meat and whole fish in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish for peak health:

  • Fresh Boer Goat from Alberta Ranches
  • Wild Boar from Alberta Ranches
  • Fresh Venison from Alberta Ranches
  • Whole Arctic Char from cold Yukon waters
  • Free-Run Duck from Ontario farms
  • Ranch-Raised Mutton from Alberta Ranches
  • Whole Steelhead Trout from Ontario Lakes
  • Whole Pacific Pilchard from North Vancouver Island

• WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS

  Mother Nature matched the nutrients in whole animals and fish 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 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 dog’s needs to thrive including vitamins, minerals, healthy fat, and amino acids.
  • Cartilage and 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 have no nutritional requirement for carbohydrates, some foods still contain large amounts of potato and tapioca. Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN Tundra is a protein-rich food featuring only fresh vegetables and fruit which release sugar slowly, dramatically reducing the potential for fat storage.
