Continuation of Product Description:

ORIJEN cat food is different from other pet foods:

Higher protein content from fresh meat
Contains no cereals
Few carbohydrates
Rich in fruits and vegetables
Herbs and probiotic bacteria to promote health

High-Protein from Fresh Meats: Cats are naturally not vegetarians; their short digestive tract is designed to consume and metabolize a meat-based, protein-rich diet low in carbohydrates. Cats are very effective at utilizing protein as a source of energy.
Purely meat-based food ensures the optimal health and vitality of your cat. Current studies show that a higher protein content also has positive effects on the kidneys. Connections have been made between kidney disease and the quality of the source of protein. ORIJEN cat food does not contain any hard to digest proteins that could burden the kidneys. ORIJEN cat food contains at least 75% food-quality meat.
- Fresh grain-fed Canadian chicken
- Fresh wild-caught Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) from Canadian lakes
- Fresh whole eggs from Canadian farms
No Cereals, Low Content of Carbohydrates: Grain is used as a cheap source of caloric energy and protein in dog foods, although cats are simply not evolved to eat processed cereal grains. Biologically, cats only require a very small amount of carbohydrates. Numerous veterinarians consider grains in food as the source of a host of health problems including obesity, diabetes, and digestive problems.
Healthy Fruits & Vegetables from Canada:
- Apples: provide plant fibres for healthy digestion and are rich in phyto-nutrients with antioxidant, cell-protecting attributes.
- Cranberries: can prevent urinary passage problems and contain anthocyanins that improve sight, reduce the risk of infections, and work to protect blood vessels.
- Spinach: contains vitamins A and C, as well as Lutein and Flavonoids which help protect cells and prevent cancer.
- Steamed Potatoes: are highly nutritional and contain B-vitamins and vitamin C as well as minerals.
- Tomatoes: contain healthy vitamins and strong antioxidants such as beta-carotene and lycopene
- Carrots: contain beta-carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the body
- Kelp: contains 12 vitamins, 21 amino acids, and over 60 minerals and trace elements
Health-Promoting Botanicals: Cats have the instinctive ability to choose to eat grasses and plants that enhance their vitality and well-being. The vitamin and mineral-rich botanicals featured in Orijen cat food are carefully-selected by holistic veterinarians.
- Marshmallow Root, Chicory and Psyllium: supply soluble fibre that soothes and nourishes the digestive tract, and optimize nutrient absorption. Marshmallow Root is also an anti-inflammatory
- Burdock and Milk Thistle: defend and strengthen the liver. Burdock also provides an excellent source of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), acting as a prebiotic to support healthy intestinal flora
- Fennel Seed and Chamomile Flowers: soothe and tone the digestive tract. Fennel has additional influence as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, and chamomile contains essential oils that have strong cutaneous and anti-itch effects
- Marigold Flowers: are a rich source of lutein and provide a significant antioxidant effect. Marigold also has a hypoglycemic effect by reducing blood sugar variances, helping to slow gastric emptying time and enhance digestion
Essential Fatty Acids: from chicken fat and salmon oil ensure healthy skin and glossy fur
Proteinates: minerals and trace elements in natural, organically bound form for better biological availability
Glucosamine and Chondroitin: aid in protection of the cartilage thus ensuring healthy joints
L-Carnitin: for an optimal metabolism.
