PUPPY | BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE DOG FOOD

BY NATURE ALL PUPPIES ARE CARNIVORES - BIOLOGICALLY ADAPTED FOR A DIET RICH AND VARIED IN FRESH MEATS, WITH SMALLER AMOUNTS OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND GRASSES.

Designed to match your puppy's natural diet, ORIJEN Puppy replicates the healthy and diverse balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that perfectly support the growth of puppies and young dogs.

Loaded with the nourishing meat ingredients (80%) that Mother Nature evolved all puppies to eat, ORIJENprovides free-run chicken and turkey, whole eggs and wild-caught fish THAT ARE FARMED OR FISHED WITHIN OUR REGION AND DELIVERED FRESH - so they're preservative free, never frozen, and brimming with the proteins and fats that nourish you puppy completely.

Carbohydrate limited and grain-free to duplicate the natural diet, ORIJEN Puppy supplies healthful regional fruits, vegetables and botanicals - including sea vegetables, juniper berries and marigold flowers - that are naturally rich in phytonutrients, B-vitamins and essential trace minerals.

Made with great care and pride in our award-winning kitchen in Alberta, Canada, ORIJEN keeps your puppy healthy, happy and strong.

READ OUR INGREDIENTS AND WE THINK YOU WILL AGREE.

ALTHOUGH THEY MAY LOOK VERY DIFFERENT, YOUR PUPPY 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 puppy, ORIJEN Puppy is loaded with a diversity of nourishing meat proteins and fats, and is limited in carbohydrate.

RICH in MEAT & PROTEIN | 80% / 40% ORIJEN Puppy is made with a full 80% of meat from free-run chicken and turkey, fresh whole eggs and wild-caught fish. These high meat inclusions produce a Biologically Appropriate protein level of 40%, which replicates the natural diet and nourishes your puppy according to his anatomical adaptation to meat protein.

RICH in ANIMAL FAT | 20% 
Animal fats and oils are essential for the peak health of all puppies — 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 90% of the fats in ORIJEN occur naturally from high inclusions of fresh chicken, turkey, fish and egg.

DHA & EPA from FRESH FISH | 0.6% / 0.3%
Fresh fish is a perfect source of highly digestible and Biologically Appropriate DHA and EPA Omega-3 fatty acids. Essential for your puppy's developing immune and nervous systems, as well as his 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% / 20%
Your puppy's natural diet contains very few, if any grains or carbohydrates. That's why Biologically AppropriateORIJEN is grain-free and contains less than half the carbohydrates found in conventional puppy foods.

LIMITED CALCIUM & PHOSPHORUS | 1.7% / 1.4%
The potential oversupply of calcium and phosphorus in high-protein puppy 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%. To eliminate these concerns, ORIJEN Puppy has limited calcium and phosphorus, with a guaranteed maximum of 1.7% and 1.4% respectively.

GLUCOSAMINE & CHONDROITIN | 1500mg / 1200mg
ORIJEN's high ratios of fresh poultry, meats and 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 puppy's natural diet that he craves when foraging for grasses and weeds,ORIJEN's veterinarian-selected botanicals help support your puppy's metabolism, strengthen his organs, and serve as cleansers to rid his body of toxins.

NUTRITIONAL GUARANTEE
ORIJEN Puppy is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for ALL LIFE STAGES.
