Your cat is unique and their feeding requirements will vary with their environment, age and activity. That’s why we suggest starting with the guide on the bag, and then monitoring their weight and adjusting portions as needed. Feed twice daily and remember always to keep fresh, clean water available.
Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location. -

Make The Switch: Transition To Orijen Cat Food
Cats are often fed the same food, and sometimes a sudden food change makes it difficult for their digestive systems to adapt, which is why it’s important to introduce the new food gradually. Going slowly will give your cat time to adjust to their new food and will also reduce the chances of digestive upset.
