How to use
ORIJEN Guardian Senior 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’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 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.
Tip:
Maintaining a healthy weight can help improve your pet's play time, mobility, and general quality of life.

Greatest food ever
I got this for my 14 year old baby girl. For all her life I've tried to always better her food and get her quality. I am absolutely blown away by this brand. In my opinion this is the number one cat food out there and other brands should strive to be just as good. I've never seen a cat food with almost all thr ingredients being meat and veggies. I can't recommend this brand enough. I have finally found my babies forever food

HEALTHY & HAPPY FURR BABIES FOREVER
I was getting food at walmart for years because of how cheap it was and honestly thought it was good food. I read it was normal for cats to throw up sometimes but i realized that was not the case AT ALL, my friend recommended me this brand of food from my local Petco and was skeptical at first because of the price but I had just adopted a baby kitten and my bestfriend Nyxie has been w me for 10 years now and wanna make sure she’s healthy also so I decided to make the jump w the kitten one and automatically noticed a difference in their coats. I thought maybe the kitten is because he’s a baby but Nyxie being older her coat got so much softer and she didn’t shead as much, she also started throwing up less! Apollo is now a little over a year and I switched to this one to feed both cats maximum nutrients ( mainly my bestie Nyxie cause she will live forever and Apollo is a baby 🥹) and ever since I did, she RARELY throws up, every once in a blue moon mainly cause of hair balls. She’s super healthy and Apollo is a 13 lb boy growing SUPER HEALTHY, and very smart! Helps me catch the spiders and any bugs that like to sneak in my room. Switching to this brand of food for my furr babies was the absolute best decision I ever made for us as a family. You will not regret giving ur babies the best food out there!

I like that it is a premium food high in protein, which is so good for senior cats. I highly recommend it.

High quality food that my cats loved
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have three super hard to please kitties. They each will turn their nose up at food that cats normally love; so finding a dry kibble that they each will not only eat but like, is hard.
With that said, they devoured this food by Orijen! I couldn’t believe it. It’s such a relief finding a kibble that all three of them love— and one that high quality.
Since I started them on this food I’ve noticed improvements in their coats, energy level, and affection. They don’t shed half as much as they used to, which is a relief for my husband who has allergies. Their fur is shiny and soft. They honestly look and seem like brand new cats— it’s crazy how much things have improved just from changing their kibble.

Mischief And I Approve
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Orijen Guardian Senior dry cat food is a grain free cat food for older kitties like mine. It contains 90% animal ingredients, including fresh or raw salmon, duck and chicken, giving my Mischief a high protein cat food that she can’t wait to eat. The nutrient rich kibble provides 8 health benefits, including immune support, heart, eye and joint health as well as promoting a healthy skin and coat. Although this cat food has a pretty strong aroma, I think that’s why Mischief loves it, and I’m glad this company makes the kibble in small enough pieces for her to digest. Since I’ve been feeding this to her over the past few weeks, I have noticed Mischief’s coat appears shiny and healthier and she seems a bit more active. Mainly I’m happy that she loves it, and will continue to purchase this food because it’s so much more beneficial to her than other commercial cat food.
