Orijen Puppy grain-free formula contains a rich balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that puppies and young dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting. Orijen Puppy is bursting with the protein-packed, veterinary-inspected meats (minimum 75%) that form a Biologically Appropriate diet, without any of the grains or carbohydrates that are inappropriate for your puppy. Instead of grain, Orijen Puppy contains a full compliment of regional fruits and vegetables including sweet and russet potatoes, black currants and sunflower from the prairie farms, apples and cranberries from the interior orchards, and sea vegetables from the pacific tidal range.

High-protein, low-carbohydrate ORIJEN PUPPY replicates the same rich and diverse balance of fresh meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that puppies and young dogs of all breeds would encounter in their natural setting.

Our salmon arrive fresh (never frozen) from Vancouver Island and provide a superb source of Biologically Appropriate Omega-3s (DHA and EPA) that support the development of cell membranes and immune systems, as well as a vibrant skin and hair coat—your puppy's outer symbol of health and vitality. Bridging the gap between good nutrition and peak health are ORIJEN’s veterinarian selected botanicals, including dandelion root, sweet fennel & peppermint leaf—all of which replicate the natural diet while serving to nourish and tone the digestive tract.

Made exclusively in our award-winning, family-owned factory, Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN PUPPY is a natural and delicious way to assure the peak health, vitality and happiness of your puppy.

About Orijen:

 Unlike the marketing and multinational companies that sell (but don't actually make) today's commercial pet foods, Orijen stands apart as a family-owned and operated pet food maker with a 25 year tradition of quality. Orijen's mission is to product world-class pet foods from fresh, regional ingredients.

Produced exclusively in their own award-winning facilities in Alberta, Canada, the Acana brand pet foods are sold in 45 countries and are certified by the Canadian Government to meet every known international pet food regulation or standard.

As a "boutique" producer, Orijen doesn't use commodity ingredients from suppliers they don't know and will never meet. Instead, they focus upon world-class ingredients raised or fished within the region by people they know and trust, and that are delivered to their manufacturing facility fresh each day.
