West Coast Pet Supply is pleased to now stock Orijen Pet Food. Orijen Pet Food products are made at their award-winning factory in Alberta, Canada. Orijen won the Glycemic Research Institute's Pet Food Of The Year Award for 2010-2011. This is an award for the pet food with the healthiest overall product. Orijen has come by this award naturally, because they are a company that makes sure their products are biologically appropriate. What this means is that Orijen Pet Foods focuses on dogs and cats and their evolutionary and anatomical needs. An aspect of this focus is their strong protein formulas achieved by a large choice of fresh meats. Orijen also zeroes in on a limited carbohydrate formula, keeping their percentages at 80% protein and 20% fruits, grains, and botanicals. Orijen doesn't use vegetable proteins, and cites them as “inappropriate.” Orijen uses ingredients supplied by locals in the region. Orijen Pet Foods are always fresh, never frozen and preserved with botanicals rather than standard preservatives.
Orijen's products are always fresh and never frozen. The poultry used in their products are completely free-run. Think of the classic Midwestern farm with chickens and turkeys doing as they please in a weather-sheltered barn environment. This is the type of table-grade poultry that arrives at Orijen for processing every day. The free-range concept that Orijen uses for its poultry also applies to the boar, beef, lamb and bison it uses in its Regional Red Dog Food products line.
Similarly. The fish used in Orijen's products are wild-caught year round from the northern lakes in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Winnipeg as well as the North West Territories of Canada. Orijen's saltwater fish are harvested by independent fishers from the Pacific Ocean. Herring and flounder are caught wild, and salmon are wild or farmed, according to season. Orijen's adage of “never frozen, always fresh” also applies to the fish that goes into Orijen Pet Food. Even more importantly, all of the fish that go into Orijen's Pet Food products are tested for mercury which is a common fish pollutant. This helps to keep the “fit for human consumption” production standards that Orijen prides itself with.
The botanicals found in Orijen products are selected by one of North America’s leading homeopathic veterinarians. Orijen's’s products aren't preserved with Ethoxyquin, BHA/BHT or any other popular pet food preservatives. Instead, various natural preservatives such as fennel, peppermint, fenugreek, vitamin E and rosemary are used to give the Orijen products a decent, natural shelf life.
Protein-rich, carbohydrate-limited, and grain-free, Orijen Pet Foods are designed to match your pets' natural diet as closely as is possible in a kibble format. Orijen food is also produced in small batches. This gives the kibble a unique shape, smell and color. Orijen Pet Foods are a wholesome, ingredient-conscious product for you to consider for your pet dog or cat. With a variety of both dog and cat foods being stocked here at West Coast Pet Supply, you are sure to find the formula that best fits your pet.
