Review: Great Quality and Loved by Cats; Our Go-To Food - The quality of the cat food that I purchase became of great importance to me after I lost my first cat to a disease that my vet said was triggered by, and worsened by, the cat food I was feeding him (Fancy Feast). So I begin doing research on what cats really need in their diet and the backgrounds and production of various cat foods on the market. Of everything I found, this brand “Orijen” always seemed to make the top five list of healthiest and most nutritious cat foods made with the highest quality ingredients as well as the best sourcing and production practices. Admittedly, there was another brand that was above ‘Orijen’ in these categories that I wanted to give my cats...but cats are picky, and they did not care for that brand too much...so I went to my second choice, which was ‘Orijen’. Ever since trying Orijen’s ‘Cat & Kitten’, we have never found another “go-to” food for the cats. They truly love this stuff. And as you can see in the video, I once got a bag home and (even though they had eaten that morning) they were more than happy to tear the bag open before I could even get to it. (usually I keep the cat food stored away in a cupboard). If you’re looking for a fragrant, dry food to attract your cats’ attention, this is definitely a go-to. Even with my human nose, as soon as I open the bag I can smell a powerful scent of cat food; it’s not an unpleasant smell, but it is certainly strong enough that a cat will know that the food is there. As my cats’ responsible human, I am happy with this food because it is responsibly sourced with cat’s health and humane practices in mind. More specifically, it is made of 85% animal ingredients including free-run chicken/turkey, wild-caught herring/flounder/sardines, and cage-free eggs; and 2/3 of their animal ingredients are “fresh or raw”. I am also encouraged by the fact that the first 16 ingredients listed on the bag are all whole animal sources; no fillers, supplements, fruits, veggies, or mysterious compounds. Additionally, taurine, which you must be wary of in cat food since it can be found in high quantities (particularly in low quality, high protein) cat food and cause health disorders in your pet, is found as a respectably small percentage of this food. I only wish that Orijen made wet cat food, since making sure cats get enough water is a very important thing. I did try to put some water on their dry food, but they didn’t like that. My answer to that was to buy a motion sensitive water dispenser, and buy them canned cat food on occasion from another respectable brand. With regard to price, yes it is rather expensive for a cat food. And getting used to it did take some time. However, after being told that I lost my first cat because of the low quality of the cat food I was feeding him (and I had no idea!), the peace of mind I get now from knowing that I am feeding my cats a properly nutritious food is priceless. Overall I am very happy with the brand and this flavor, and as you can see in the video and the picture of the damage done to the bag before I could open it and the cats are also very happy with it. (There’s a picture of the cat food in a bowl next to a lightbulb for reference on the size of the kibble).
Review: good kitty food - my cat loves it, and i think it smells pretty good as far as dry food goes not overly strong or anything. size of the kibble is great for my cat bc she's small for her age and doesn't take well to big pieces. honestly only bummer is the amount for the price but i can also understand that, my cat's fur has been so shiny which goes to show the ingredient quality. would pair this with the pate for extra moisture in ur cat's diet but nuff said

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Premium, Health-Driven Nutrition That Cats Crave!
*by C***Y on September 9, 2025*

I’ve been feeding my cats ORIJEN Original for a while now, and the difference is clear. The 90% animal-based ingredients—including fresh or raw free-run chicken and turkey, whole mackerel, turkey giblets, and flounder—make this formula incredibly protein-rich and biologically appropriate. Amazon Orijen Pet Foods The WholePrey approach, featuring poultry, organs, and bones, delivers nutrition that mirrors what cats would naturally eat in the wild. Orijen Pet Foods +1 My cats absolutely devour it, and it’s not hard to see why—the freeze-dried liver coating adds an irresistibly natural flavor. Amazon Orijen Pet Foods Not only do they eat more eagerly, but their digestion has never been better—firm stools, healthy appetite, and no more reluctant nibbling. The quality is obvious in their coats and vitality, a reflection of the high protein, grain-free recipe that supports skin, coat, digestion, and overall heart health with added probiotics and omega fatty acids. Chewy Cat Food Advisor Yes, it’s on the premium side price-wise, but it’s worth every penny—I use less per serving and feel good knowing I’m giving my cats the best. Highly recommended for any cat owner who values thoughtful nutrition and real results.
