Description
Nourish your cat as nature intended with Orijen Original Cat — a biologically appropriate dry food built on 90% animal ingredients* including free-run chicken and turkey and wild-caught fish. Orijen’s authentic WholePrey approach features the most succulent parts of the prey — poultry, organs, and fish — to mirror what your cat’s ancestors consumed in the wild, and the first five ingredients are always fresh or raw. The result is a protein-rich, grain-free recipe that satisfies your carnivore from kittenhood through her senior years.
