Orijen Dog Food – Nourish as Nature Intended

The Orijen Dog Food Concept

Orijen dog food is produced by Champion Pet Foods located in Alberta Canada.

They follow a really simple yet amazingly often over looked principle in creating extremely healthy food for your dog: Creating Biologically Appropriate food.

Simply stated, biologically appropriate means feeding your dog food that nature intended them, and in fact evolved them to eat. This means Orijen uses fresh, whole, and healthy ingredients. Ingredients free from protein byproudcts, cheap grains that your dog was never intended to eat, and other questionable additives.

As a nutritionist, this concept falls right in line with what I teach my clients. Humans are not designed to eat processed foods, hygrogentated oils, and high fructose corn syrup. The results of eating this non-biologically appropriate foods are evident by looking at the American public. Unfortunately for dogs, they don’t get to choose the food they eat, so it’s up to us to feed them appropriately.

How Orijen Dog Food Benefits Your Dogs Health

Over many thousands of years, dog have evolved eating primarily a carnivorous diet. Orijen has done extensive research on the proper ratio of protein, fat, and carbohydrate appropriate for dogs. By designing their foods with 70% meat, 30% fruits and vegetables, and 0% grains, they have created a product that matches your dogs dietary needs.

Orijen is relatively expensive dog food; probably 2 or 3 times more expensive that you are used to paying if you are using a nation brand from your grocery store. However, the money you’ll save in veterinary bills, and the emotional stress you’ll avoid by having a healthier, happier, more active dog is well worth it.
