2. Orijen
Orijen is dedicated to making Biologically Appropriate dog food from fresh, local ingredients.

All their ingredients are raised with sustainability in mind, by local farmers, and delivered to their Alberta, Canada kitchen every day. Champion Pet Foods, the makers of Orijen and Acana dogs foods prepare their own foods in their own kitchens – they are never outsourced.

Orijen believes that Mother Nature evolved all dogs as carnivores, designed to thrive on a diet of whole meats with smaller amounts of fruits, berries and grasses. Their formulas are loaded with meat, low in carbohydrates and grain free. With ingredients like cage-free chicken and turkey, walleye, herring, nest-laid eggs and local fruits and vegetables, Orijen’s formulas are designed with your dog’s health in mind.
