Continuation of Product Description:
With ORIJEN Puppy Food, you're offering your pet the ideal conditions for healthy development and wellness.

ORIJEN Puppy Food is different from other pet foods:

Higher protein content from fresh meat, for your puppy's healthy growth
Contains no cereals
Few carbohydrates
Rich in fruits and vegetables
Herbs and probiotic bacteria to promote health

High protein content from fresh meats: Dogs are naturally not vegetarians; their short digestive tract is designed to consume and metabolize a meat-based, protein-rich diet low in carbohydrates. Dogs are very effective at utilising protein as a source of energy.
Only a meat-based food ensures the optimal health and vitality of your dog. Current studies show that a higher protein content even has a positive impact on kidney functions. ORIJEN Puppy Food contains at least 70% meat, featuring regional Canadian ingredients that arrive at the factory fresh - never frozen or dried.
- Fresh grain-fed Canadian chicken
- Fresh wild-caught lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) from Canadian lakes
- Fresh whole eggs from Canadian farms
No cereals, low content of carbohydrates: grains are used as a cheap source of caloric energy and protein in dog foods, although dogs are simply not evolved to eat processed cereals. Biologically, dogs 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 fibre for healthy digestion and are rich in phyto-nutrients with antioxidant, cell-protecting characteristics.
- Cranberries: can prevent urinary passage problems and contain anthocyanins that improve sight, reduce chance for 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: Dogs 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 dog food are carefully-selected by holistic veterinarians.
- Marshmallow root, chicory and psyllium: supply soluble fibre that soothes and nourishes the digestive tract, optimize nutrient absorption, and reduce insulin levels, especially in dogs. 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
Probiotics: favourably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection.
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-carnitine: for an optimal metabolism.

Shipping Surcharge for Individual Products
The shipping costs for your order are generally covered by zooplus (shipping for all orders of £29 or more is free). This is almost never a problem for us, except for a very few items that have a very unfavorable ratio of weight/volume to value.

These products contain a shipping surcharge already included in the price, which may result in a higher price than at traditional pet stores who are not influenced by shipping costs.

Please note:

All products with a shipping surcharge are marked.
The shipping surcharge is already included in the price of the item.
The shipping surcharge will not be charged separately or additionally in your order.
Depending on the product, the surcharge will be between £0.50 and £2.30.

You Have the Choice
We want to provide you with this information so that you know you can trust the prices at zooplus. With the shipping surcharge, you can recognize items that have higher prices due to high shippping costs immediately.
