Orijen Adult Original – High Meat, Grain-Free Nutrition

Orijen Adult Original is formulated for dogs who thrive on a high-meat, grain-free diet. This Biologically Appropriate recipe is packed with 85% quality animal ingredients, including fresh or raw free-run chicken and turkey, wild-caught or sustainably farmed fish and whole eggs.

Because dogs are natural carnivores, Orijen Adult Original focuses on varied animal proteins and WholePrey ingredients (meat, organs and bone) to deliver concentrated nutrition in every bite. The result is a nutrient-dense dry food that supports strong muscles, steady energy and overall vitality in adult dogs.

Why choose Orijen Adult Original?
Orijen Adult Original stands out from many standard kibbles by using fresh or raw animal ingredients as the first several components in the recipe. This means your dog’s bowl is filled with highly digestible proteins rather than low-value fillers.

Key benefits of Orijen Adult Original include:

• High animal protein to support firm, lean muscle mass in active adult dogs

• WholePrey nutrition with meat, organs and bone providing natural vitamins, minerals and amino acids

• Grain-free recipe using pulses and vegetables for energy and fibre instead of wheat or maize

• Fresh or raw ingredients to help preserve natural flavour and nutrients

• Freeze-dried coating on each kibble for a highly palatable, raw-inspired flavour

• All-breed adult formula suitable for most adult dogs when fed according to the feeding guide

Because Orijen Adult Original uses such a high proportion of animal ingredients, it typically offers higher protein and moderate fat levels compared with many conventional dry foods, while keeping carbohydrate levels relatively low.

Ingredients and nutritional profile
Orijen Adult Original uses a carefully layered mix of fresh, raw and dehydrated animal ingredients, combined with vegetables, fruits and botanicals.

A typical composition includes:

• Fresh chicken

• Raw turkey

• Fresh chicken giblets (liver, heart)

• Raw whole herring and raw whole hake

• Fresh eggs and raw turkey liver

• Dehydrated chicken, turkey, mackerel, sardine and herring

• Red lentils, peas, chickpeas, green lentils, pinto beans and navy beans

• Chicken fat and pollock oil for energy and omega-3 fatty acids

• Fresh pumpkin, butternut squash, courgette, carrots, apples and pears

• Leafy greens such as kale, spinach, beet greens and turnip greens

• Fruits and botanicals including cranberries, blueberries, chicory root, turmeric, milk thistle, burdock root, lavender, marshmallow root and rosehips

These ingredients work together to provide:

• High-quality protein from multiple animal sources

• Healthy fats to support skin, coat and energy levels

• Natural sources of fibre from legumes and vegetables to aid digestion

• Phytonutrients and antioxidants from fruits, greens and botanicals

Because Orijen Adult Original relies heavily on whole animal ingredients and less on added synthetic vitamins and minerals, much of the nutrition comes directly from the raw materials themselves rather than long lists of additives.

Feeding guide for Orijen Adult Original
Every dog is different, so the amount of Orijen Adult Original needed will vary. Always refer to the feeding chart on the packaging as your main guide, then adjust according to your dog’s:

• Age

• Weight

• Activity level

• Body condition (too lean, ideal or overweight)

General tips:

• Split the daily portion into two meals to support steady energy and digestion

• Always provide fresh drinking water

• Monitor your dog’s weight and body shape regularly and adjust the portion if needed

When transitioning from another food to Orijen Adult Original, gradually mix increasing amounts of Orijen with the previous food over at least 7–10 days. This slower change helps reduce the chance of digestive upset while your dog adapts to the new diet.
