ORIJEN Grain Free High Protein Premium Dry Cat Food Original Recipe 7lb Bag

I’ve been feeding my cats ORIJEN Original for a while now, and the difference is clear. The 90% animal-based ingredients—including fresh or raw free-run chicken and turkey, whole mackerel, turkey giblets, and flounder—make this formula incredibly protein-rich and biologically appropriate. Amazon Orijen Pet Foods The WholePrey approach, featuring poultry, organs, and bones, delivers nutrition that mirrors what cats would naturally eat in the wild. Orijen Pet Foods +1 My cats absolutely devour it, and it’s not hard to see why—the freeze-dried liver coating adds an irresistibly natural flavor. Amazon Orijen Pet Foods Not only do they eat more eagerly, but their digestion has never been better—firm stools, healthy appetite, and no more reluctant nibbling. The quality is obvious in their coats and vitality, a reflection of the high protein, grain-free recipe that supports skin, coat, digestion, and overall heart health with added probiotics and omega fatty acids. Chewy Cat Food Advisor Yes, it’s on the premium side price-wise, but it’s worth every penny—I use less per serving and feel good knowing I’m giving my cats the best. Highly recommended for any cat owner who values thoughtful nutrition and real results.

Excellent cat food — very high quality, and my cats love it. It is a bit on the expensive side, but the ingredients and results make it worth the cost. No issues so far, and the cats seem happy and healthy with it.

We have a Maine Coon kitten that was started off with raw food. After a month or so she quit eating it so I reached out to her breaded and she suggested Orijen as a good substitute. I had tried one of the other two main brands recommended by veterinarians and one of them turns out to be owned by a pharmaceutical company. So I ditched that and started this Orijen for kittens. I have since bought Orijen for my two cats, they aren’t as excited about the kibble for weight control. I am working towards getting them all close to the same diet, making it easier on all of us. My Maine coon kitten loves this kibble. The quality of this food and the ingredients are incredible and she loves the taste. One of my cats tries to eat the kittens kibble so it must taste good. It’s appearance is different in color and size, it doesn’t seem to have whatever it is that smells so strong that the cats run to it, they eat it because they like it, ok and maybe out of necessity. I would recommend Orijen because of the ingredients, protein is key, and it doesn’t have a lot of fillers.

This food is AMAZING! My 3cats took to it instantly. I mixed it with the current food they had been eating for several years in one bowl and straight in one bowl. They all preferred this food hands down! I had tried to switch them to another food earlier and they rejected it completely. I have been researching cat food for the last month trying to find the best one. This brand showed up in the top several. This one stood out having the nutrition levels I desired by using real meat products. The others had equal nutritional levels but they were synthetic additives. It is more expensive by far but if my cats like it better and it has the results advertised I am willing to forgo other items in my budget to purchase this food! I advise anyone wanting to switch food for nutritional or digestive reasons to do their research but consider comparing them to this brand. It has a slightly stronger odor but not unpleasant. Smells richer. The bag can be sealed easily for storage. My only problem is how to get rid of the large amount of my old brand. They refuse it if the other is available and pick around it if mixed. I think a shelter donation is in my future!

The quality of the cat food that I purchase became of great importance to me after I lost my first cat to a disease that my vet said was triggered by, and worsened by, the cat food I was feeding him (Fancy Feast). So I begin doing research on what cats really need in their diet and the backgrounds and production of various cat foods on the market. Of everything I found, this brand “Orijen” always seemed to make the top five list of healthiest and most nutritious cat foods made with the highest quality ingredients as well as the best sourcing and production practices. Admittedly, there was another brand that was above ‘Orijen’ in these categories that I wanted to give my cats...but cats are picky, and they did not care for that brand too much...so I went to my second choice, which was ‘Orijen’. Ever since trying Orijen’s ‘Cat & Kitten’, we have never found another “go-to” food for the cats. They truly love this stuff. And as you can see in the video, I once got a bag home and (even though they had eaten that morning) they were more than happy to tear the bag open before I could even get to it. (usually I keep the cat food stored away in a cupboard). If you’re looking for a fragrant, dry food to attract your cats’ attention, this is definitely a go-to. Even with my human nose, as soon as I open the bag I can smell a powerful scent of cat food; it’s not an unpleasant smell, but it is certainly strong enough that a cat will know that the food is there. As my cats’ responsible human, I am happy with this food because it is responsibly sourced with cat’s health and humane practices in mind. More specifically, it is made of 85% animal ingredients including free-run chicken/turkey, wild-caught herring/flounder/sardines, and cage-free eggs; and 2/3 of their animal ingredients are “fresh or raw”. I am also encouraged by the fact that the first 16 ingredients listed on the bag are all whole animal sources; no fillers, supplements, fruits, veggies, or mysterious compounds. Additionally, taurine, which you must be wary of in cat food since it can be found in high quantities (particularly in low quality, high protein) cat food and cause health disorders in your pet, is found as a respectably small percentage of this food. I only wish that Orijen made wet cat food, since making sure cats get enough water is a very important thing. I did try to put some water on their dry food, but they didn’t like that. My answer to that was to buy a motion sensitive water dispenser, and buy them canned cat food on occasion from another respectable brand. With regard to price, yes it is rather expensive for a cat food. And getting used to it did take some time. However, after being told that I lost my first cat because of the low quality of the cat food I was feeding him (and I had no idea!), the peace of mind I get now from knowing that I am feeding my cats a properly nutritious food is priceless. Overall I am very happy with the brand and this flavor, and as you can see in the video and the picture of the damage done to the bag before I could open it and the cats are also very happy with it. (There’s a picture of the cat food in a bowl next to a lightbulb for reference on the size of the kibble).

My cat instantly likes this food. He is picky and has a sensitive stomach and somehow this cat food solves all issues. My cat keeps coming back for more. It's a little expensive but worth it since he does not have any problems with it, unlike other foods we introduced to him before. I just hope the seller does not run out of supply as I find this hard to find in other pet stores

The food is good, my cat loves it. however, the packaging is not good for storing the food.

El producto es muy bueno, de una marca reconocida por su calidad y salubridad. Sin embargo hay que poner atención en los distribuidores por que un aspecto importante al comprarlo es su fecha de caducidad que debe ser de al menos 4 meses de vigencia sino los 6 meses como mínimo y esto no siempre lo cumplen sus distribuidores que envían este producto próximo a su fecha de caducidad. "Ojo" con esto al comprarlo, al menos aquí en México. Yo tuve que devolverlo por esta razón.

Bon produit

Amazing ingredients, but my cats doesn’t seem to be much into it. She eats it anyway because she has no other choice, but at least I know that this is a great food for her with nutrients she needs and no additives. Would buy again!
