Feeding Instructions
Each dog is unique and feeding amounts will vary with age and activity. Please use this chart as an initial guide and adjust amounts accordingly. Feed twice daily and always provide your dog with fresh, clean water.
| Weight | Active Adult Daily Feeding (Cups) | Less Active Adult Daily Feeding (Cups) |
|---|---|---|
| 11 lbs | 3/4 | 1/2 |
| 22 lbs | 1 1/4 | 1 |
| 44 lbs | 2 | 1 1/3 |
| 66 lbs | 2 3/4 | 2 |
| 88 lbs | 3 1/2 | 2 1/3 |
| 110 lbs | 4 | 2 3/4 |
| 132 lbs | 4 3/4 | 3 1/4 |
Puppies: 1 1/2 - 3 months feed twice adult amount. 3 - 6 months feed 1 1/2 times the adult amount. 6 - 11 months feed 1 1/4 times the adult amount. Gestation: Increase by 25% - 50%. Lactation: Feed free choice.
Transition Instructions
Dogs are often fed the same food, which means a sudden food change makes it difficult for their digestive systems to adapt, which is why it’s important to introduce the new food gradually. Going slowly will give your dog time to adjust to their new food and will also reduce the chances of digestive upset.
Start by mixing 25% new food with 75% old food. Slowly change the proportions over the next 5 - 7 days by gradually increasing the amount of ORIJEN and decreasing the amount of old food. At the end of this transitioning process, you should be feeding 100% ORIJEN.
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT DOES BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE MEAN?
The Biologically Appropriate™ concept is Simple: mirror the freshness and variety of meats that dogs and cats are evolved to eat.
WHAT DOES WHOLEPREY MEAN?
Nature matched the nutrients in whole prey animals to perfectly meet your dog or cat’s needs. ORIJEN WholePrey represents the evolution of ORIJEN foods, incorporating meats, organs and cartilage in ratios that mirror the natural diet, and eliminate the need for long lists of synthetic ingredients.
WHAT IS MEATMATH?
Biologically Appropriate foods are formulated to match the eating anatomy of the animal they are intended for. As dogs and cats are evolved as carnivores, that means they require high concentrations of meat, high inclusions of fresh meat, and a rich diversity of meat. Is your food Biologically Appropriate™? Answer the 3 meat questions: * HOW MUCH MEAT IS IN THE TOTAL DIET? * HOW MUCH FRESH MEAT? * HOW MANODS CONTAIN BOTANICALS?**
ORIJEN is designed to match the natural diet as closely as is possible in a kibble format. Botanicals are a part of the natural diet for all cats and dogs, and play an important role in bridging the gap between good health and peak conditioning. The botanicals found in ORIJEN are selected by one of North America’s leading Homeopathic Veterinarians.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIJEN AND ACANA FOODS?
While there are many differences between ACANA and ORIJEN, both diets reflect our belief in the importance of providing diets that are Biologically Appropriate™, using ingredients that are Fresh, Regional, and Never Outsourcing any part of the cooking or packaging of our Brands.
When comparing the 2 brands, let’s ask the 3 Meat Questions: 1. How Much Meat? ORIJEN has 85-90% Meat, while ACANA foods have 50-75%. 2. How Fresh? ORIJEN’s foods have 2/3 Fresh meats and ACANA’s have ½ fresh. 3. How Many Meats? ORIJEN foods have up to 10 meats, while ACANA’s foods feature up to 5.
Put simply, ORIJEN and ACANA foods mimic the natural eating habits of your cat or dog with high fresh meat inclusions and low inclusion of carbohydrates. Although slightly lower in protein than ORIJEN, ACANA provides an unbeatable value and price point that makes Biologically Appropriate™ pet foods accessible to a wide range of pet lovers.
WHY DOESN’T ORIJEN SUPPLEMENT THEIR FOODS WITH AMINO ACIDS AND MINERALS?
Organ meats are a concentrated and natural source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive, including all essential vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and vital amino acids.
Densely packed with nearly every nutrient, including heavy doses of B vitamins, organ meats such as kidney, liver and tripe are loaded with the minerals phosphorus, iron, copper, magnesium and iodine, and provide important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, all of which nourish dogs and cats as nature intended.
Which is why you will find amino acids, including taurine or minerals like calcium and phosphorus on the guaranteed analysis but not on the ingredient list!
HOW IS IT THAT ORIJEN FOODS FEATURE 15-20% FAT, BUT VERY LITTLE FAT IS ADDED TO THE INGREDIENTS?
ORIJEN’s fresh meat inclusions are very high. The 2 largest nutritional components of fresh meat are protein and fat. By using large inclusions of fresh meat we are able to minimize the amount of added fat in our ingredient list.
**WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF ORIJEN’S GLUCOSAMINE AND CHONDROITIN - IS IT SUPPL
Biologically Appropriate Commitment
Dogs and cats are built like their ancestors, and that's why all of Orijen's recipes are based on five biologically appropriate principles. They start with a variety of unmatched fresh meat inclusions that are rich in protein. Orijen includes whole prey ratios that naturally provide the nutrients your dog needs. Carbs are limited, but there are plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and cleansing botanicals.
Whole Prey Foods
In the wild, dogs consume the whole animal to meet their full dietary needs, so Orijen recipes incorporate three whole prey elements in specific ratios.
- Meat (70−85%) High meat inclusion means all amino acids are provided in natural form, without any synthetic supplements.
- Edible Bone (5−10%) Bone, marrow and cartilage provide calcium, phosphorus, glucosamine and chondroitin without any artificial additives.
- Organ Meat (10−15%) Fresh liver and tripe are richly nourishing sources of vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and vitamins A, B and D.
Quality, Sustainable Ingredients
Orijen believes you have a right to know where the ingredients in your dog's food come from. From nest-laid eggs and wild northern pike to juicy orchard-grown apples and crisp garden greens, each ingredient is sourced from local producers they know and trust.
Fresh, Whole Food Ingredients
Orijen uses fresh, regional ingredients that are GMO-free and sustainably and ethically produced.
LICORICE ROOT
Supplies soluble fiber, soothes and nourishes the digestive tract, cleanses the colon, and reduces insulin levels.
CRANBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES
Rich in antioxidants and help support a strong immune system and healthy urinary tract.
ANGELICA ROOT AND FENUGREEK
Support digestion and provide protective antioxidants that defend the kidney against chronic damage.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH

My lab mix experienced many allergy issues from Blue buffalo, taste of the wild, Apex and Natural Balance. Zignature seemed to work great for a while ,but she was pooping up to 4 times a day and I was told that meant she wasn't absorbing all the nutrition she needed from the food.. so I looked into Orijen and WOW. Her coat is so shiny and soft, she has a ton of energy even though I feed her less, she only poops 2 times a day now and they're always solid. I will never switch brands again, it may be pricier than other foods, but you feed way less than other brands as well. Highly recommend giving it a chance!!

I have a one-year old Black Lab and this dog food was recommended to me by one of my children who feeds it to his dog. I was stunned by the poor condition of the dog food. It appeared to be exceptionally dry and had in large part simply crumbled to dust. I'm not sure whether this was the result of extremely rough shipment, was the dog food too old (although dated Dec 2018), or some other cause. I have fed the Lab with the dog food adding an egg and some chicken broth to moisten it but it is not usable in any of his food toys as much of it is basically just powder instead of dog food nibbles.

It's hot in Texas in the summer and I thought my young Wheatens 3 & 5 had become oddly sedate, sleeping inside in air conditioning a lot of the day. After the transition to the 1st day of full Orijen, we noticed that they were chasing after each other and ripping around the house as I hadn't seen them in a long time despite the fact we recently installed hardwood floors! They do this several times a day like they a while back. They were eating expensive blue labeled food prior to this. Wheatens are always puppy like and playful so it was great to see them back at it full swing. I've never seen any dog food make such a difference. In fact, they had such a good time I filmed them and might It's hot in Texas in the summer and I thought my young Wheatens 3 & 5 had become oddly sedate, sleeping inside in air conditioning a lot of the day.

I have long resisted buying Orijen dry food because of the steep price. Our 13yo dog is older and bored with his food (Fromm, Merrick, Farmina), so I caved and bought this. He goes nuts for this flavor of Orijen treats, and I thought he might show similar enthusiasm with the kibble. He did. Once. Now he couldn't care less, and avoids eating until he can't hold out any longer. I will stick with the treats as toppers for his kibble, but I won't buy this again.

We have two very small chihuahuas. The smallest one is just under 4 pounds and is almost 14 years old. He is missing some of his teeth. We have previously purchased Halo Spot's Stew for toy and small breed. We were wanting to give our dogs something new for a change. We were disappointed to learn that the Orijen has much larger pieces, and the pieces are very, very hard. Our dogs will not eat it.

The reviews are great on Dog Food Advisor, it's packaged well with a zip tab closure that I wish all bags had, and my dog accepts it. However, she is only okay with it, and often leaves some in the dish that ends up in the fridge until the next feeding. I don't think I will spend the extra $ for her so-so attitude about it again.

My dog love this food so much. She's 105 lb American bulldog and eats less of this then other foods we have tried. The 25lb bag last over a month which is great for the price. My poor baby is allergic to chicken this has no bird in it (no more itchy paws). Her coat is so shiny and soft I love it. I keep food in the dish at all times she eats a little at a time when she's ready and hungry. I would recommend this to anyone that's looking to a good food. Love it so much.

Since Champion Pet Foods opened a kitchen in Kentucky, my two Yorkies did not want to touch their foods. They LOVED the Orijen's original but since they re formulated the food they wouldn't eat it. I contacted Champion Pet Food with my problem and concerns. They were great and reassuring the food was the highest quality still and the food contained more meat. The rep sent me samples for my dogs can try and they fell in love with Orijen Regional Red.

My dogs loved this food. This is the first time we have fed "Grain Free", but it definitely will not be the last. All of our dogs loved it and have had no issues with it at all. They appear to love the flavor, as there is never a piece of it left behind at feeding time!! Thank you Chewy!!!

The dogs love it, Suki, the frenchie moved in with us when she was 9 years old. David her owner, said, she doesn't always eat. He often had to put cottage cheese on her food to stimulate her to eat. She has never had that problem since she was served Orijen Red.
