Orijen

Orijen dog food is a biologically appropriate line built around fresh, regional ingredients and a high proportion of animal protein — up to 85% animal ingredients across its recipes. This collection carries 35 Orijen items for dogs and cats, from dry kibble and canned entrees to smaller bags for trialling a new formula.

Which Orijen dog food should you choose?

Start with the protein source, since that is the main difference between recipes rather than the overall nutritional philosophy.

  • Everyday, mixed-protein feeding: Orijen Original Adult Dry Dog Food combines free-run poultry and fish, and suits most adult dogs without a known protein preference.
  • Red-meat eaters: Orijen Regional Red leans on ranch-raised meats, a good fit for dogs that do better away from poultry.
  • Fish-forward diets: Orijen Six Fish uses wild-caught fish and is the usual pick for owners rotating proteins or avoiding land-animal ingredients.
  • Wet food or toppers: Tundra Stew canned dog food adds moisture to a kibble bowl or works as a standalone meal.

What about Orijen cat food?

The cat range follows the same approach. Orijen Original Dry Cat Food is the general-purpose adult option, Kitten Dry Cat Food is formulated for growing cats, and Regional Red Dry Cat Food offers a red-meat alternative. Guardian 8 is the wellness-oriented dry formula for adult cats. For cats that need more moisture in the diet, the Chicken & Salmon and Duck & Chicken canned entrees can be fed on their own or mixed into dry food.

How do you switch a pet onto Orijen?

Because Orijen is protein-dense, most dogs and cats do best with a gradual transition over 7 to 10 days, increasing the new food a little each day while reducing the old. Feeding volumes are often smaller than with lower-protein diets, so check the bag's feeding chart rather than keeping your previous portion size.

If you are unsure about a recipe, buy the smallest bag first — prices in this collection run from $2.99 to $128.69 CAD depending on format and size — then move up once your pet settles.

Ashario Pets stocks Orijen for same-day pickup in North York and ships Canada-wide. You can also browse the full Orijen cat food selection if you are shopping for cats only.
