ORIJEN Fit & Trim Dog
BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE | FOR DOGS
FRESH FREE-RUN CHICKEN & TURKEY, CAGE-FREE EGGS, AND WILD-CAUGHT FISH
DOGS BENEFIT FROM A DIET RICH IN PROTEIN TO SUPPORT LEAN MUSCLE MASS AND PROMOTE PEAK CONDITIONING.
42% richly nourishing protein, 85% quality animal ingredients, and a unique blend of soluble fibres nourish dogs according to their evolutionary and biological needs.
2/3 of Fit & Trim’s meat is FRESH (refrigerated, no preservatives) or RAW (flash-frozen, no preservatives), including the top 10 meat ingredients.
1/3 of the meat is gently dried at 90°C, creating a concentrated source of nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meat alone.
Nutrient-dense WholePrey ratios of fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone, plus whole fish and cage-free eggs provide a natural source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs.
Infusions of gently freeze-dried liver enhance flavour and palatability naturally, making ORIJEN deliciously tasty, even for fussy dogs.
Meat Math
IS YOUR DOG'S FOOD BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE?
Dogs evolved as 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 foods mirror the natural diet and answer three meat questions:
HOW MUCH?
- 85% Meat Inclusions
-
ORIJEN leads its class in premium meat inclusions.
-
All from animals from federally inspected facilities prior to inclusion in our foods.
HOW FRESH?
- 2/3 of meats are FRESH or RAW and loaded with goodness.
- 1/3 is dried at low temperature for a premium protein source.
HOW MANY:
- 5 Different Animals in Wholeprey Ratios
- Free-Run Chicken
- Free-Run Turkey
- Cage-Free Eggs
- Wild-Caught Pacific Herring
- Wild-Caugh Pacific Flounder
- A variety of meats in WholePrey ratios supply nutrients naturally, dramatically reducing the need for synthetic supplements.
ONLY 1 SUPPLEMENT — ZINC
- In nature there are no synthetic supplements, so dogs and wolves 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 dog foods.
- Loaded with richly nourishing ratios of fresh meat, organs, cartilage and bones plus fresh whole fish and whole eggs, ORIJEN provides a natural source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive.

Analysis
NOURISH AS NATURE INTENDED
Your dog shares his eating anatomy with the grey wolf – which means he’s evolved for a diet rich and varied in meat, protein, and fat – not highly processed carbohydrates and starches.

Your dog is unique and his feeding requirements will vary with his environment, age, and activity. That’s why we suggest starting with the guidelines provided (you kind find the guidelines in the product images), and then monitoring his 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 grey wolf is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic dogs. While years of breeding have produced hundreds of ‘different-looking wolves’, the internal workings of wolves and dogs remain unchanged so it’s no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too.
Our 5 Biologically Appropriate principles are simple and mirror the freshness and variety of meats that dogs have evolved to eat.
RICH IN MEAT (85%) AND PROTEIN (38%)
All dogs have sharp teeth and a body designed to metabolize protein and fat from meat. ORIJEN is designed to nourish your dog according to his evolutionary and biological needs.
- 85% meat (2/3 FRESH or RAW and 1/3 gently dehydrated)
- 38% richly nourishing meat protein
- 15% vegetables & fruit
- No grains or gluten
HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS
- 2/3 of meat is FRESH or RAW, supplying your dog with essential nutrients in their most natural and nourishing form.
- 1/3 of meat is dehydrated at a low temperature for a concentrated source of nourishing protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meats alone.
- Meat is the foundation of award-winning ORIJEN foods.
AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF MEAT
In nature, dogs benefit from an assortment of meat. This variety is often lost in conventional dog 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 Fit & Trim features a rich diversity of fresh meat in Biologically Appropriate WholePrey ratios to nourish for peak health:
- Fresh free-run chicken from prairie farms
- Fresh free-run turkey from prairie farms
- Fresh, whole Pacific herring and flounder, wild-caught from North Vancouver Island
WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS
WholePrey represents the evolution of ORIJEN foods, incorporating fresh meat, organs, and cartilage or bone in ratios that mirror nature and eliminate the need for long lists of synthetic supplements.
- Meat – essential for protein and fat as well as vitamins A, B, D, and K, copper, chromium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc.
- Organs – packed with virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive, including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and amino acids.
- Edible Bone – a rich source of minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium in natural form your dog’s body can easily absorb.
