BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE | ALL LIFE STAGES
FRESH GOAT, WILD BOAR, VENISON, ARCTIC CHAR, FREE-RUN DUCK & MUTTON
ALL DOGS HAVE EVOLVED TO THRIVE ON A VARIED DIET OF WHOLE GAME, FISH, AND FOWL, WITH SMALLER AMOUNTS OF VEGETABLES AND FRUIT.
Brimming with 40% richly nourishing protein and 85% quality animal ingredients, ORIJEN nourishes dogs of all breeds and life stages, according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
2/3 of animal ingredients are FRESH (refrigerated, no preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top 10 meat ingredients.
Nutrient-dense WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage or bone provide virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive.
Infusions of freeze-dried liver enhance taste naturally, giving your dog delicious flavour boost.
ONLY 1 SUPPLEMENT— ZINC
In nature there are no synthetic supplements, so dogs and wolves derive their complete nutritional needs naturally by consuming whole animals which contain all of the nutrients they need to thrive. That’s why you won’t find long lists of synthetics in ORIJEN dog foods. Loaded with richly nourishing ratios of fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone, plus whole fish and cage-free eggs, ORIJEN provides a natural source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive.

Analysis
NOURISH AS NATURE INTENDED
Your dog shares his eating anatomy with the grey wolf, which means he’s evolved for a diet rich and varied in meat, protein, and fat – not highly processed carbohydrates and starches.

Feeding
YOUR DOG IS UNIQUE
Your dog is unique and his feeding requirements will vary with his environment, age, and activity. That’s why we suggest starting with the guides below, and then monitoring his weight and adjusting portions as needed. Feed twice daily and remember to always keep fresh, clean water available.
† Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. 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. ORIJEN Tundra is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.
CALORIE DISTRIBUTION
ORIJEN Tundra provides more calories from protein and fat and fewer from carbohydrates, providing a calorie distribution that mirror the natural diet, helping to reduce the risk of obesity and diabetes. Metabolizable Energy is 3860 kcal/kg (460 kcal per 250ml/120g cup) with calories distributed to support peak conditioning; 38% from protein, 15% from vegetables and fruit, and 42% from fat.
Natures Rules
OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PHILOSOPHY
The grey wolf is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic dogs. While years of breeding have produced hundreds of ‘different-looking wolves’, the internal workings of wolves and dogs remain unchanged, so it’s no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too. Our five Biologically Appropriate principles are simple and mirror the freshness and variety of meat that dogs have evolved to eat.
-
RICH IN MEAT (85%) AND PROTEIN (38%)
All dogs have sharp teeth and a body designed to metabolize protein and fat from meat. ORIJEN is designed to nourish your dog according to his evolutionary and biological needs.
- 85% quality animal ingredients (2/3 fresh or raw and 1/3 gently dehydrated)
- 40% richly nourishing protein
- Our dried ingredients are prepared from fresh meat and whole fish, and dried at 90°C to create a concentrated source of protein
- No grains or gluten
-
HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS
Meat is the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN foods.
- 2/3 of the animal ingredients are fresh or raw, supplying your dog with essential nutrients in their most natural and nourishing form
- 1/3 of animal ingredients are dehydrated, for a concentrated source of nourishing meat protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone
-
AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF MEAT
In nature, dogs benefit from an assortment of meat. This variety is often lost in conventional dog foods which typically feature a single animal ingredient, such as chicken or lamb, that is highly processed and seldom fresh. That’s why award-winning ORIJEN Tundra features a rich diversity of fresh meat and whole fish in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish for peak health:
- Fresh Boer goat from regional ranches
- Fresh wild boar from regional ranches
- Fresh venison from regional ranches
- Wild-caught Arctic char from cold Yukon waters
- Fresh free-run duck from regional farms
- Ranch-raised mutton from regional ranches
- Wild-caught steelhead trout from pristine waters
- Wild-caught Pacific pilchard from North Vancouver Island
-
WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS
ORIJEN’s WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage or bone mirror nature, and eliminate the need for long lists of synthetic ingredients, so only zinc is added.
- Meat – essential for protein and fat as well as vitamins A, B, D, and K, copper, chromium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc.
- Organs – packed with virtually every nutrient your dog’s needs to thrive including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and amino acids.
- Edible Bone – a rich source of minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium in a natural form that your dog’s body can easily absorb.
