Questions & Answers

5 Customer Questions


Are the freeze dried pieces raw or are they cooked before the drying process? If they are raw, does anyone know how Orijen is ensuring their raw is free of pathogens?

Answer by ChewyFeb 18, 2025
Orijen freeze-dried products are not considered raw. To ensure the safety of the ORIJEN Freeze Dried foods and treats, the brand uses a freeze-drying process in combination with a post-drying thermal treatment. During the freeze-drying process, ORIJEN foods and treats are briefly raised to 90°C. This step ensures that the food is free of pathogens.

My cat seemed to like this food. I picked this for the freeze dried pieces. He used to eat a raw diet but stopped liking it so we moved to kibble but he seems to get tired of one kind so this had some added bits and he seems to like it. I like the quality of the ingredients. Had no digestive issues or problems when we switched but we did it slowly. Time will tell if he continues to eat this regularly.

Great food!

My kitty is extremely picky and tries to avoid any and all chicken type food, but this one passes the test! We also like the other Orijen varieties and feed him

Made my cats sick

I searched and searched for food that didn't have any type of Meal in it, trying to find something healthier for my fur babies. I mixed this food in with the food

I searched and searched for food that didn't have any type of Meal in it, trying to find something healthier for my fur babies. I mixed this food in with the food I had before to slowly change them over to it. After a couple days on just Orijen, my cats were puking up the food every time after about 10 minutes of eating it. Even when I tried giving them treats just to have something in their stomachs until I could get different food, they puked. Unfortunately to say, I will not be purchasing this food again.

I don't get it.

He loves the original Orijen. He's been loving that for months now. So much so, he won't even eat his Tiki wet anymore. Thought I'd try this mixed chicken morsels

He loves the original Orijen. He's been loving that for months now. So much so, he won't even eat his Tiki wet anymore. Thought I'd try this mixed chicken morsels one. I was certain he'd love this too. But that would be a no. I mixed a tiny bit w/ the original and he wouldn't go near it. Had to dump. The original alone is what he'd eat. Most say he's a picky cat. I say simple. Perhaps I should count my blessings. But how normal is it to keep him on just one variety?

Will not use again

My senior car did okay on this for a while but, then, began reacting to it with vomiting and horrible dry heaves. I now have her stabilized on First Mate. I won't

I thought this would be a big winner at my house. Alas, only one of the three agreed with me. The ingredient quality is exceptional. One cat won't touch it;

I thought this would be a big winner at my house. Alas, only one of the three agreed with me. The ingredient quality is exceptional. One cat won't touch it; the second cat picks at it; the third cat likes it. I recommend it. My trio is unreliable in their likes and dislikes

My cats are obsessed!

I have very picky cats when it comes to hard food. When they tried this brand, they immediately loved it. Have been feeding them this food for the past year. No

The best crinchies

My vet loves this. Fizz loves this. Marigold loves this. I love this because it's super healthy and delicious food. Marigold now hates everything she ate before

My vet loves this. Fizz loves this. Marigold loves this. I love this because it's super healthy and delicious food. Marigold now hates everything she ate before her thyroid meds kicked in and settled down her metabolism. But Orijen is still going strong! This is, hands down, the best crunchie food on the market.

Real fish bite sized

It's still debatable if they like this or not, they have thrown up a few times and I'm not sure if it's from this or food delivered and sat in sun on the porch..
