Cats and kittens possess a biological need for animal protein. Descended from the Near Eastern wildcat, they have evolved to require a diet that is rich in animal ingredients, in order to maintain peak health. ORIJEN Cat & Kitten contains richly nourishing protein from free-run chicken and turkey, wild-caught fish, and cage-free eggs. Two-thirds of ORIJEN's animal ingredients are FRESH or RAW, for a concentrated source of protein. Mimicking the diet your cat’s ancestors would have hunted and eaten in the wild, they use the whole prey animal, including meat, organs, cartilage, and bone, so your cat is getting everything they need in order to stay happy, healthy, and strong.

Feeding Instructions

• Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, it's recommended sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.
• Kittens: Post weaning (after 5 weeks old) feed 1/4 cup for each 1lb of body weight. At 20 weeks (5 months) feed 1/8 cup for each 1lb of body weight. Feed as an adult at 52 weeks
• Gestation: increase daily feeding amount by 25%
• Lactation: feed ‘free choice’

Transition Instructions

When switching diets, it’s important to transition your cat or kitten as it takes time for her digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ORIJEN. Over a 5-7 day period, gradually mix in ORIJEN, increasing the amount each day so that by day 7 you are feeding 100% ORIJEN.
