- Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.
- Kittens: Post weaning (after 5 weeks old) feed 1/4 cup for each 1lb of body weight. At 20 weeks (5 months) feed 1/8 cup for each 1lb of body weight. Feed as an adult at 52 weeks
- Gestation: increase daily feeding amount by 25%
- Lactation: feed ‘free choice’
When switching diets, it’s important to transition your cat or kitten as it takes time for her digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ORIJEN. Over a 5-7 day period, gradually mix in ORIJEN, increasing the amount each day so that by day 7 you are feeding 100% ORIJEN.
About ORIJEN Dry Cat Food
The Pinnacle of Nutrition
Cats are obligate carnivores, and they thrive on a biologically appropriate diet. ORIJEN provides optimal feline nutrition by using unsurpassed quantities of fresh or raw meat from a variety of Wholeprey animal protein sources.
85-90% Animal Ingredients
With 85-90% premium animal ingredients, each ORIJEN cat food recipe provides essential protein, vitamins and minerals in their most nourishing forms. It’s a meaty diet designed to feed your cat’s carnivorous cravings.
Nourish As Nature Intended
Fresh ingredients preserved solely through refrigeration and raw ingredients frozen at the peak of freshness stay true to their natural form. This minimalist approach preserves important nutrients and keeps closer to the diet your feline evolved to eat.
15 FRESH OR RAW INGREDIENTS
With at least 15 fresh or raw ingredients in every recipe, ORIJEN kibble is the closest thing to feeding a raw diet.
ORIJEN'S WHOLEPREY DIET
ORIJEN recipes include meat, organs, and bone, so your cat can enjoy the most nutrient-dense and succulent parts of the prey.
FIRST 5 INGREDIENTS
The first 5 ingredients are always fresh or raw animal sources, including nutrient-rich meat, poultry, whole fish, and organs.
Transitioning to ORIJEN
Acclimate your cat to a new ORIJEN diet by transitioning gradually from the old food you were feeding. Start by replacing 25% of the old diet with ORIJEN food, increasing the new food amount proportionally over the next 10-14 days. By the end of the second week, you should be feeding 100% ORIJEN.

WHY THEY ARE INSISTING ON HUGE MORSELS FOR CATS???
By Alice on Jul 21, 2021
I cut those in four and my cats are loving the small pieces. It is insane to feed cats huge morsels because they not only put HUGE strain on their teeth but also struggles on their stomachs. The manufacturers needs to review the idea of huge dry hard to digest shapes. Go ahead and try, cut them smaller and see how much easier for a cat is to eat and how much happier they are.

great quality & Joy loves it
By cldiva on Jun 26, 2021
I'm so happy that Chewy now offers this Orijen brand cat food. I used to buy it at a small store near my house because it wasn't sold anywhere else that I could find. It is great quality food & Joy loves it. So many brands contain low quality ingredients, so improving the quality of her food plus great taste for Joy is important to me.

No more puking
By Sara on May 26, 2021
I have two out of three cats that were throwing up all the time with wellness food which now looking back seemed to start after they changed their formula. However now the puking has almost completely stopped and I have seen a major decrease in the complaining of my boy that always asked for non stop food. Very happy with this food with I have been using now for months.

pls sell orijen freeze-dried treats!
By talaitha on Jun 10, 2021
I don't use a lot of dry food for my cats [i prefer freeze-dried mixed with grain-free wetfood], but once in a while i offer some as a treat, and when I do it's always Orijen. I wish chewy sold the orijen freeze dried treats, my cats are bonkers over those & they're very good quality.

Cat Loves It
By Jeanie on Jun 17, 2021
My very picky-eater cat was eating Muse Charmed with Chicken for years. It's no longer available, so I had to find a replacement--tried a couple of brands but this one did the trick. She eats much more of this too.

Bugs in the package box
By Ozzzzzzzzz on Apr 13, 2021
I ordered the Orijen dry food along with some toys and they arrived within 2 days. Fast delivery! But I'm also very shocked to find 2 bugs inside the package box, one dead one alive.... It's the first time since I start shopping on Chewy 5 months ago. I haven't open the Orijen bag yet, it's in good shape. But I'm starting worry about where the bugs come from.... Chewy you need to care more when packaging

Cats Love Orijen - picky eater
By ABPCCZhouseof6 on Apr 9, 2021
My cats, one in particular really, can be picky to very picky eaters. I am so genuinely thrilled that Orijen is back on Chewy! I was very disappointed to see it go for that blip merge with Petsmart, but understood the manufacturer’s stance. This is one of the only foods my pickiest eater will devour. Thanks Chewy!

Orijen is the BEST!
By KarenA on Mar 30, 2021
I've been feeding my cats Orijen for years. So glad Chewy is carrying it now. I convinced a friend with a very picky senior kitty to try it and the change in her cat was amazing. She used to buy subpar dry cat food full of corn and other fillers. I told her many times corn is not for Cats, read the ingredient list not the flashy description on the front of the bag. She is now a devoted Orijen fan as well.

Versatile food for kittens and older cat
By Lisq on Apr 30, 2021
Versatile food for kittens and older cat, Are use this to mix in with their regular food, this way I can introduce the kitten to adult food and still give the older cats variety. So far they seem to like it.
