Many people ask if Orijen is the best dog food for their dog breed. If not, what is the best dog food?
In most cases, the best dog food doesn’t necessarily vary from breed to breed, but more on the age and size of the dog. Not because it is a pit bull.
If you want the best for your dog and you can afford to do so, stay away from the cheaper processed stuff made with artificial ingredients and fillers.
Your dog will live a much happier and healthier life if you feed them a natural or organic dog food. What may cost a little more in food, may save you in trips to the vet and a longer life for your pup.
We like Orijen among other natural and organic dog food. There are many to choose from.
Of course the best way would be to make the dog food yourself so you know exactly what is in it. Check out this free guide on Best Homemade Dog Food Recipes.
There are a lot of different opinions stating organic dog food is the best, or natural, or raw is the best etc. It’s really is unique to each dog.
Maybe your dog won’t like a raw diet. Organic dog food is great, but if your dog doesn’t like it, just keep trying different brands until you find a match.
If you choose a top-rated, premium quality dog food, it’s OK to not buy organic. Read through the ingredients so you can feel comfortable with your purchase.
We chose to dig a little deeper into what specific pit bull owners were feeding their dogs, we found that many owners swore by Orijen.
Orijen is a great company who’s mission is to make “biologically appropriate” dog and cat foods from fresh regional ingredients. By biologically appropriate they mean that dogs are classified as carnivores. Orijen’s dog food is harvested to meet the freshness and variety of meats that dogs would naturally hunt for in the wild.
Their food features exceptionally high inclusions of fresh whole meats, plus richly nourishing liver, tripe, cartilage and marrow — all in ratios that mirror the natural diet, while excluding high-glycemic carbohydrates and plant proteins that simply don’t belong in the diets of dogs.
Orijen states on the their website where the food is derived from, the freshness and quality it possesses and how it is fit for human consumption. They also have a page dedicated to their farmers.
This one clip of many regarding the chicken in Orijen’s dog food.
Pretty impressive. We want to try it 😉
If that’s not enough, check this out. Their food is never frozen but rather freeze-dried.
Orijen freeze-dried dog foods are prepared without cooking, so they fully retain the natural properties of their authentic fresh ingredients. There are also plenty of grain-free dog food options.
They start by flash-freezing their ingredients to lock in the freshness. Then, using extremely low temperatures (-50°C) and special pressurized chambers, their 18 hour freeze-drying process converts the frozen water in their ingredients directly into vapor, without creating any liquid.
That means water and ONLY water is removed, leaving all of the goodness in the food — exactly where it should be!
Well, it sounds a lot better than the local slop at the supermarket. These top-rated dog foods on amazon are a great place to start. Find which one your dog likes best.
