FRESH PACIFIC PILCHARD, HAKE, MACKEREL, FLOUNDER, ROCKFISH & SOLE
PACKED WITH FRESH, SUSTAINABLE, AND WILD-CAUGHT FISH FROM VANCOUVER ISLAND TO SATISFY YOUR CAT’S BIOLOGICAL NEED FOR A PROTEIN-RICH DIET.
With 85% quality animal ingredients and 42% protein, ORIJEN recipes mirror the diet that your cat has evolved to eat.
2/3 of ORIJEN’s fish are FRESH (refrigerated, no preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top six fish ingredients.
1/3 of fish are gently dried at 90°C from fresh, whole fish to create a concentrated source of richly nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh fish alone.
Nutrient-dense fresh whole fish (including meat and bone) provide virtually every nutrient your cat needs to thrive.
Generous infusions of freeze-dried cod liver enhance flavour naturally, making ORIJEN deliciously tasty, even for fussy eaters.
Meat Math
IS YOUR CAT'S FOOD BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE?
Cats are hunters and, just like their wild cousins, their teeth, jaws, and digestive system are all adapted for meat-concentrated diets that are rich in fresh meat and meat diversity.
Biologically Appropriate cat foods mirror the natural diet and answer three meat questions:
HOW MUCH?
- 85% Fish Inclusions
- ORIJEN leads its class in premium fish inclusions.
- All from fish from federally inspected facilities prior to inclusion in our foods.
HOW FRESH?
- 2/3 of fish are FRESH or RAW and loaded with goodness.
- 1/3 is dried at low temperature for a premium protein source.
HOW MANY:
- 6 Different Animals in Wholeprey Ratios
- Wild-Caught Pacific Pilchard
- Wild-Caugh Pacific Hake
- Wild-Caught Pacific Mackrel
- Wild-Caugh Pacific Flounder
- Wild-Caught Pacific Rockfish
- Wild-Caugh Pacific Sole
- A variety of fish in WholePrey ratios supply nutrients naturally, dramatically reducing the need for synthetic supplements.
3 SUPPLEMENTS – ZINC, COPPER, AND CHOLINE
In nature there are no synthetic supplements, so cats derive their complete nutritional needs naturally by consuming whole animals, which contain all of the nutrients they need to thrive. That’s why you won’t find long lists of synthetics in ORIJEN cat foods.
Loaded with richly nourishing ratios of fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone, plus fresh, whole fish and cage-free eggs, ORIJEN provides a natural source of virtually every nutrient your cat needs to thrive.

Analysis
NOURISH AS NATURE INTENDED
Your cat shares her eating anatomy with the Near Eastern wildcat, which means she’s evolved for a diet rich and varied in fresh meat and fish, protein, and fat – not highly processed carbohydrates and starches.

Your cat or kitten is unique and her feeding requirements will vary with her environment, age, and activity. That’s why we suggest starting with the guides that can be found in the product images, and then monitoring her weight and adjusting portions as needed.
Feed twice daily and remember to always keep fresh, clean water available.
† Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.

Nature's Rules
OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PHILOSOPHY
The Near Eastern wildcat is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic cats. While years of breeding have produced different kinds of cats, the internal workings of wild and domestic cats remain unchanged, so it’s no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too. Our five Biologically Appropriate principles are simple and mirror the freshness and variety of meat that cats have evolved to eat.

RICH IN FISH (85%) AND PROTEIN (42%)
All cats are adapted for a diet rich in fish and protein. Their sharp teeth and body mechanics are designed to metabolize protein and fat from meat. ORIJEN is created to nourish your cat or kitten according to her biological needs.
- 85% fish (2/3 FRESH or RAW and 1/3 gently dehydrated)
- 42% richly nourishing meat protein
- 15% whole vegetables and fruit
- Our dried fish is prepared at 90°C from fresh, whole fish to create a concentrated source of rich protein (not the industry standard of bones and trimmings)
- NO grains or gluten
HIGH FRESH FISH INCLUSIONS (2/3)
Fresh meat is the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN foods.
- 2/3 of the fish are FRESH or RAW, supplying your cat with essential nutrients in their most natural and nourishing form.
- 1/3 of fish are dried and prepared at a low temperature from fresh fish, to create a concentrated source of nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh fish alone.
AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF FISH
- Wild-caught Pacific pilchard from North Vancouver Island
- Wild-caught Pacific hake from North Vancouver Island
- Wild-caught Pacific mackerel from North Vancouver Island
- Wild-caught Pacific flounder from North Vancouver Island
- Wild-caught Pacific rockfish from North Vancouver Island
- Wild-caught Pacific sole from North Vancouver Island
- In nature, cats benefit from an assortment of meat and fish. This variety is often lost in conventional cat foods which typically feature a single animal ingredient, such as chicken or lamb, that is highly processed and seldom fresh. That’s why award-winning ORIJEN Six Fish features a rich diversity of fresh fish in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish your cat’s peak health:
