Orijen - Original Dry Cat Food

TL;DR: Orijen Original Dry Cat Food is a grain-free, protein-dense formula made with 90% animal ingredients — chicken, herring, turkey, and eggs — built on WholePrey ratios. It's designed for adult cats whose owners want a biologically appropriate diet that supports lean muscle, skin, and coat.

Cats are obligate carnivores, and Orijen Original Dry Cat Food reflects that with a recipe dominated by animal protein rather than fillers. Each bite delivers taurine, omega fatty acids, and nutrients drawn from the whole prey — meat, organs, and cartilage — in ratios that mimic what cats would eat in the wild.

What makes Orijen Original different?

The formula is built around 90% fresh or raw animal ingredients, with chicken, turkey, and herring as the core protein sources. It's grain-free, so carbohydrate load stays low and protein stays high — a combination that supports muscle tone and sustained energy in adult cats.
