REGIONAL RED
BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE FOR ADULT DOGS OF ALL BREEDS
By nature, all dogs are carnivores—evolved for a high-protein diet that’s rich and varied in meats, fruits and botanicals, yet free of the grains and carbohydrates found in today’s dry dog foods.

ORIJEN’s REGIONAL RED is a Biologically Appropriate food that replicates the same rich and diverse balance of fresh meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that dogs would encounter in their natural environment.

Loaded with premium red meats, ORIJEN’s REGIONAL RED is made with high inclusions of wild boar, lamb, heritage pork and bison—all raised ‘free-range’ within our region, passed ‘fit for human consumption’ and delivered FRESH each day.

Free of inappropriate grains and carbohydrates, ORIJEN’s REGIONAL RED features regional fruits and vegetables including russet potatoes & black currants from local prairie farms, apples & cranberries from the interior orchards, and organic sea vegetables from the North Pacific tidal range.

Caught off Vancouver Island, fresh (never frozen) salmon provide a superb source of Omega-3 (DHA and EPA) that support a vibrant skin and hair coat,—your dog's outer symbol of health and vitality.

Bridging the gap between good nutrition and peak health, ORIJEN’s veterinarian selected botanicals include sweet fennel, dandelion root & peppermint leaf—all of which mirror the natural instinct to forage for grasses and weeds while serving to nourish and tone the digestive tract.

Made exclusively in our award-winning, family-owned factory, ORIJEN’s REGIONAL RED is a natural and delicious way to assure the peak health of your dog—no matter what his breed or size.

Modern dogs of all breeds are not only capable of eating the food of their wild ancestors, but actually require it for maximum health. High protein and low carbohydrate, ORIJEN’s REGIONAL RED replicates the diet your dog would encounter in his natural environment.

• Protein from premium red meat ingredients passed ‘fit for human consumption’, NOT plant proteins like potato or pea isolates, soy or glutens.
• Long chain omega-3 (DHA, EPA) from fresh fish, NOT sunflower, flax or canola (ALA omega-3) which is not useable by dogs and cats.
• Calcium and phosphorus are moderate, balanced, and of natural source.
• Fresh cartilage provides a natural, high source of glucosamine and chondroitin.
• Veterinary selected botanicals soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract while strengthening the liver.

ORIJEN’s REGIONAL RED is made with a Biologically Appropriate ingredient ratio (70/30/0) of 70% meat, 30% fruit and vegetables (and 0% grain).

• Wild boar, lamb, bison and heritage pork are all raised ‘free-range’ on a natural diet free of growth hormones and antibiotics.
• Fresh fish are caught-wild using sustainable harvesting practices and delivered FRESH (never frozen, no preservatives).

A BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

• There are 3 sources of calories in all dog foods – protein, fat & carbohydrates.
• Protein and fat are essential, carbohydrates are not. While dogs thrive on proteins and fats, they require absolutely no carbohydrate in their diet.
• Simple carbohydrates cause blood sugar levels to elevate and fluctuate.
• When not used for energy, carbohydrates are stored in the body as fat.
• Carbohydrates are the leading dietary cause of overweight conditions in dogs.
• By providing more calories from protein and fewer calories from carbohydrate, ORIJEN reduces the risk of obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes.
