ORIJEN Original Dry Cat Food Directions:
- See product packaging for complete feeding guidelines.
- Because your pet is unique and ORIJEN™ pet foods are packed with animal protein, feeding requirements will vary with breed, environment, age, and activity.
- Use the below feeding guide as a starting point, monitor your cat or kitten’s weight, and adjust amounts as needed.
- Feed at room temperature.
- Always provide access to clean fresh water.
- When switching diets, it's important to transition your cat or kitten as it takes time for their digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ORIJEN™.
- Over a 10-14 day period, gradually mix in ORIJEN™, increasing the amount each day so that by day 14 you are feeding 100% ORIJEN.
- See your veterinarian regularly.
Maintaining a healthy weight can help improve your pet's play time, mobility, and general quality of life.
