Our Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN® premium pet foods are made with high-quality fresh and raw ingredients. Our fresh ingredients use refrigeration as the sole method of preservation, and our raw ingredients are frozen at their peak freshness. Our dog and cat foods are inspired by your pet’s ancestral diet, including WholePrey animal ingredients like meat, poultry or fish, organs and bone. Premium ingredients like protein-rich meat, free-run poultry, and wild-caught and/or sustainably farmed fish mirror the quantity, freshness, and variety of animal ingredients that dogs and cats have evolved to eat. When it comes to free-run poultry, our free-run chickens and turkeys are not housed in cages and are able to move in a barn without outdoor access. ORIJEN premium dog food recipes are made with the most nutrient-dense, succulent parts of the prey and are ideal for dogs of all ages, including puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. ORIJEN premium cat foods are packed with animal protein and include diets specially formulated for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats. Packed with quality animal ingredients, ORIJEN pet foods are beyond comparison, and ORIJEN food for dogs was voted the best dog food by Business Insider Magazine in 2021.

It takes about 80 lbs of raw meat to make a 23 lb bag of Orijen Amazing Grains Regional Red kibble. Please take 1 minute and read the ingredients. Orijen is NOT over priced.

The total moisture in Orijen food is 12%, which means the dry matter content is 100% - 12% = 88%.

Orijen is 90% meat products, so 88% of the 23 lb bag is made up of meat products.

To find the amount of dry meat in the bag, we can calculate 0.88 * 23 lbs = 20.24 lbs of dry matter.

Since raw meat is 75% water, it means that 25% of it is dry matter (100% - 75% = 25%).

To calculate how many pounds of raw meat are needed to make 20.24 lbs of dry matter, we can do 20.24 lbs / 0.25 = 80.96 lbs.

So, it takes approximately 80.96 pounds of raw meat to make a 23 lb bag of Orijen dog food.
