Orijen Senior Formula 5.5 lb bag
Biologically Appropriate for all Breeds
As dogs age, their bodies become less efficient at metabolizing the proteins that are vital to maintaining muscle mass and overall wellness. In additional to increased dietary protein, senior dogs typically require fewer calories than younger dogs, and fewer carbohydrates help improve insulin resistance.
Studies show that it is more harmful than it is good to restrict protein in senior dogs, and the high quality proteins are needed for our older pets. Without enough high quality protein present in the diet, senior dogs lose lean body mass, become lethargic and develop a lowered immune system.
To supply the enhanced levels of rich meat proteins needed by elder dogs, ORIJEN SENIOR features the highest inclusions of fresh, never-frozen chicken, turkey, wild-caught fish and fresh whole eggs. Loaded with protein-packed, government-inspected meats (minimum 70%) that form a Biologically Appropriate diet, ORIJEN is free of the grains or excess carbohydrates that are biologically inappropriate for your senior dog.
Instead of grains, ORIJEN SENIOR contains a full compliment of regional fruits and vegetables including both sweet and russet potatoes, black currants and sunflower from the prairie farms, apples and cranberries from the interior orchards, and sea vegetables hand-harvested from the pacific tidal range. While providing limited carbohydrate, these fruits and vegetables supply important natural antioxidants, phytochemicals and enzymes in a natural, bioavailable form.
Fresh, never-frozen chicken and fish provide a superior source of essential fatty acids that dogs cannot produce themselves (including DHA and EPA) and that nutritionally support the development of cell membranes and immune systems as well as vibrant skin and hair coat,—your dog’s outer symbol of health and vitality.
Bridging the gap between good nutrition and total physical well-being, ORIJEN SENIOR contains veterinarian selected botanicals that include psyllium and chicory root, dandelion, sweet fennel and peppermint leaf, all of which replicate the natural canine diet and help to soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract, strengthen the liver and control insulin levels.
