Nourish Their Inner Wildcat

Packed with up to 95% animal ingredients like free-run chicken and turkey and wild-caught salmon and whole herring, it helps support muscle development in your growing kitten. It also contains 15 animal ingredients, including WholePrey ingredients like poultry, fish, organs and bone, the most succulent and nourishing parts of the prey. This diet helps support your kitten's brain development and cognitive function with naturally occurring DHA and EPA from salmon, whole herring, and pollock oil.

That’s why every ORIJEN diet is packed with WholePrey ingredients like protein-rich meat, poultry or fish, and succulent, nutrient-rich organs. These nutritious ingredients mimic your pet’s ancestral diet to provide them with the well-rounded nourishment they need to unlock their true potential. Our included fresh ingredients are delivered refrigerated and our included raw ingredients are delivered frozen.

Good ingredients.

As far as kibble goes this brand seems to be pretty good. I would like my kitten to be on all raw diet although as of now he won’t take to it. He loves his kibble

As far as kibble goes this brand seems to be pretty good. I would like my kitten to be on all raw diet although as of now he won’t take to it. He loves his kibble. He won’t even eat wet food. It took sometime to transition him from science diet ( what they had him on at the rescue) to this. Once fully transitioned I notice his smell and coat changed for the better. I also mix this with their kitten “wild reserve “ kibble.

My two rescue kittens love this food! Having not known better when I got my first cat, it took me a long while to figure cat food out and I tried multiple cheap brands from the grocery store before finally doing the research and finding out about quality food. This isn't the food I chose for her back then but better in my opinion. It keeps my new babies healthy and their black coats glistening. Great food!

Quality

My boy absolutely loves it. He likes a dry food alongside wet food. He enjoys the crunch. With this food he really goes for it.

We have been doing TNR in our neighborhood and feed Orijen adult (or the Kirkland equivalent) to the ferals. When we got our kittens, we tried this food, making sure to follow the instructions on gradually increasing the percentage of Orijen versus our previous dry food. At a 50% mixture of Blue Buffalo Kitten and Orijen Kitten, we reverted to all Blue Buffalo because the smell of their poop became unbearable, even with our Litter Robot 4 doing the work. The kittens like the taste of both brands, so we let our noses decide and will keep feeding Blue Buffalo.

Great ingredients my cats loved

My kittens loved this food! I loved that I knew they were getting good high quality ingredients at such a young and important stage of life. They are healthy 1 year

My kittens loved this food! I loved that I knew they were getting good high quality ingredients at such a young and important stage of life. They are healthy 1 year olds now and have graduated to cat food. They also have the softest fur, not sure if it’s them or the food but it’s a sweet bonus!

Bought his kitten food for our new Perisan kitten. He nibbles on this but prefers wet food - took off one star. But our 2 adult Persons (who eat Petcurean Go Duck kibble) LOVE this food and we can't keep them away. We ended up buying the Orijen adult version for the adult cats to switch to.
