Orijen Original Senior is a high-protein, biologically-appropriate dry food for senior dogs. It carries the same animal-content philosophy as the rest of the Orijen range — packed with fresh and raw animal ingredients — adjusted for the lower energy needs of older dogs while maintaining the protein levels needed to preserve lean muscle mass.

Free-run chicken and turkey and wild-caught salmon and herring make up the bulk of the recipe. WholePrey ratios — meat, organs and cartilage in proportions matching natural prey — provide nutrients in their natural forms, including glucosamine and chondroitin from cartilage that support ageing joints. Lower carbohydrate and lower glycaemic profile than standard senior foods. Grain-free. Available in a 2kg bag.

Orijen sits at the top end of premium dry food and the senior recipe stays true to the brand's high-meat-content approach rather than dropping protein the way many senior foods do. Owners who've fed adult Orijen and want to keep their dog on the same brand into seniorhood transition to this — the calorie reduction is enough to suit slowing dogs without losing the protein their muscles need.
