Orijen Original Dog Food Grain Free is a high-protein, meat-rich dry dog food for dogs of all breeds and life stages, from Dachshunds to Great Danes.

It suits owners who want a biologically appropriate, grain-free diet for their dog.

Key Benefits

• Biologically appropriate nutrition: dogs share their eating anatomy with the gray wolf, so they have evolved for a diet rich and varied in fresh meat, protein and fat rather than highly processed carbohydrates and starches.
• 38% protein and a limited 19% carbohydrates, formulated to meet the evolutionary and biological needs of dogs of every breed and life stage.
• 85% meat and 15% fruits and vegetables.
• Two-thirds of the meats are FRESH (refrigerated, no preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, no preservatives). This includes the top 10 meat ingredients, a share the brand describes as unmatched by any other dog food.
• The remaining third of the meats is air dried at 90°C from fresh chicken, turkey and fish, creating a concentrated source of protein.
• WholePrey™ ratios of fresh meat, organs and cartilage, plus whole fish and whole eggs, provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs.
• Infusions of freeze-dried chicken and turkey liver enhance the flavour naturally, so it is deliciously tasty even for the fussiest dogs.
• A varied mix of fruits, vegetables, botanicals and whole legumes rounds out the recipe, with no grains.

Suitable For

• Dogs of all breeds, from the smallest to the largest.
• All life stages.
• Fussy eaters, thanks to the freeze-dried liver infusions.
