Product Description

ORIJEN™ Original Cat is a protein-rich dry cat food designed for all breeds and life stages, offering biologically appropriate nutrition inspired by what cats naturally eat. Ideal for kittens, adults, and seniors, this complete diet supports heart health with naturally occurring taurine and fuels lean muscle development through WholePrey animal ingredients like meat, organs, and bone.

The first five ingredients include fresh or raw chicken, turkey, and wild-caught fish, delivering essential nutrients in their most nourishing form. This recipe contains 85%* high-quality animal ingredients and 15% fruits, vegetables, and botanicals. It excludes grain**, potato, tapioca, or plant protein concentrates for clean, digestible nutrition. Each kibble is coated in freeze-dried liver for a burst of raw flavour even fussy cats crave.

Whether you're feeding a curious kitten or a wise senior, ORIJEN™ Original Cat provides complete and balanced nutrition in every bite.
