The Near Eastern wild cat 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 its no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too. 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. Thats why you wont find long lists of synthetic supplements in ORIJEN cat foods. Loaded with richly nourishing ratios of fresh poultry, organs and cartilage plus fresh whole fish and whole eggs, ORIJEN provides a natural source of virtually every nutrient your cat or kitten needs to thrive. Help your pet thrive with the power of protein-rich recipes that nourish as nature intended. As obligate carnivores, all cats are meant to eat a Biologically Appropriate diet: one rich and varied in whole animal ingredients. ORIJEN Fit & Trim recipe is optimized to support lean muscle mass and is specifically designed to support peak physical conditioning with quality animal ingredients from poultry and fish, organs, cartilage, and edible bone from fresh or raw free-run chicken and turkey*, cage-free eggs, and wild-caught fish. With rich inclusions of Whole Prey animals, ORIJEN cat food is made with the most nutrient-dense, succulent parts of the prey to deliver the nutrition cats need.
Directions & Dosage
We recommend you feed twice daily. Simply divide the amount suggested on the feeding guide into two meals, spaced eight to 12 hours apart. For example, if the feeding guide calls for 1 cups per day, we recommend feeding a cup in the morning and a cup at night. You may need to adjust portions as you learn your pets ideal daily maintenance amount. These amounts may change over time as your pets age and activity levels change. Always keep in mind a lean dog or cat is a healthy pet. Many dogs and cats have large appetites and will eat everything you feed them. As ORIJEN foods are highly palatable, you need to be careful not to overfeed, as this can cause issues such as loose stool or unwanted weight gain.
Transition Instructions
Unfortunately, dogs and cats are often fed the same food for a long period of time, which means a sudden food change makes it difficult for their digestive systems to adapt. Thats why its important to introduce new food gradually. Going slowly will give your dog or cat time to adjust to their new food and will also reduce the chances of digestive upset. Start by mixing 25 percent new food with 75 percent old food. Slowly increase the new food proportionately over 10-14 days until you are feeding 100 percent new food.
