Orijen 6 Fish dog food is a grain-free formula containing a rich balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting. Orijen 6 Fish is bursting with the protein-packed, human-grade fish (minimum 70%), including Canadian salmon, northern lake whitefish, lake trout, walleye, freshwater cod and herring.

ORIJEN 6 FISH for DOGS is made with a Biologically Appropriate ingredient ratio (70/30/0) of 70% fish, 30% fruit and vegetables (and 0% grain).

It features 6 fish species that are wild-caught within our region and delivered FRESH, never frozen each day. Unequalled in any other dry pet food, ORIJEN features a minimum of 6 fresh fish to provide a nourishing variety of fish proteins and oils. Omega-3 (DHA, EPA) is from fresh fish, NOT sunflower, flax or canola oils (ALA) which are ineffective in the body of a dog. Veterinary selected botanicals soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract while strengthening the liver.
