Description
Give your adult cat eight health benefits in every bowl with Orijen Guardian 8 — a biologically appropriate dry food made with 90% animal ingredients* including free-run chicken, wild-caught salmon, and rabbit. The first five ingredients are always fresh or raw, and every recipe delivers the WholePrey mix of meat, organs, and fish your carnivore was built to eat. Guardian 8 is purpose-formulated to support immune health, digestion, skin and coat, heart health, muscle maintenance, joints and bones, cognitive function, and eye health — all in one complete adult diet.
