Champion Orijen Dog Food Review

Champion Pet Foods Orijen is a range of organic dog foods that are widely regarded as being some of the best quality dog foods available on the market. There are several varieties, including the popular Regional Red and Six Fish formulas, and the range includes specialist options for certain categories, such as Senior, Adult, Puppy, and Puppy Large Breed. Using only natural organic ingredients, and with perhaps the highest meat content available in any dry dog food, the Orijen range is a wonderful option for those owners who wish to provide their dogs with an exceptionally high quality food.

Organic dog food is generally recognized as being the one of the healthiest options. It contains no pesticides, no hormones, no preservatives, and uses only natural organic ingredients. Because there's lots of controversy over chemical additives in all food, for humans as well as dogs, it's easy to see why an organic food might be a preferable choice. Organic foods contain none of the controversial ingredients contained in other commercial dog foods, some of which have been linked to diseases, kidney problems, and even cancer. On top of all this, organic food is hypoallergenic, which means that it doesn't contain any wheat gluten. Wheat gluten is commonly responsible for dog food allergies, and if a dog has an allergic reaction to it, it can cause digestive problems and skin disorders. Organic foods are a good solution for dogs who suffer from food allergies.

 

Champion Pet Foods Orijen range provides a good selection of organic dog foods, which are grain-free. Many people do not know that grains are actually unnecessary in dog foods – they are not a natural part of the canine diet at all. Very often, grains are included as “fillers”, merely bulking out the food rather than providing any great nutritional benefits. More and more brands are starting to produce completely grain-free foods for this reason, and the Orijen range concentrates instead on natural, wholesome ingredients. The Regional Red variety, for example, has an extremely high meat content, a good range of fruits and vegetables, and plenty of probiotics. The starch in the food comes from potatoes, which is an excellent and high quality carbohydrate source.

The standard quality of the ingredients in the Orijen foods is very high. The Six Fish variety is especially worthy of mention, because of the manufacturer's guarantee concerning the fresh fish used in producing the fish meal. It says “All Orijen fish meals are preserved exclusively with NATUR-OX (a blend of rosemary and mixed tocopherals), and our fresh fish are truly FRESH -arriving without any preservatives what-so-ever." This is great news, and is backed up even further by the statement declaring the food to be completely ethoxyquin free – which is always worth checking when you're purchasing any fish-based meal for your dog.

All in all, this is an extremely high quality dog food that is everything an organic product should strive to be. Well worth trying if you are considering changing your dog's diet to organic food instead of regular commercial pet food. You can buy it online here.
