Default Orijen and Acana

I only feed my baby Orijen, made in Canada. And since you are already in Canada....you should really look into that. It's same company that makes Acana. I email'd the company before asking for the difference between Orijen and Acana and this is the response I got:

While there are many differences between ACANA and ORIJEN, both diets reflect our belief in “Biologically Appropriateness”. Five main points of difference are summarized below:

1. MEAT CONCENTRATION: ORIJEN is made with 70-75% meat ingredients while ACANA has between 40 to 65%, depending on the formula.
2. AMOUNT OF PROTEIN: ORIJEN diets range between 38% and 42% protein, while ACANA features protein levels of 29-34%.
3. AMOUNT OF CARBOHYDRATE: ORIJEN diets range from 18-22% of carbohydrate, while ACANA diets are typically in the 28-30% carbohydrate range.
4. AMOUNT OF FRESH MEAT: ORIJEN is made with 28-40% of fresh meats, compared with ACANA which is made with 20% of fresh meats.
5. VARIETY OF FRESH MEAT: ORIJEN contains a minimum of 5 fresh meats, compared to ACANA which contains 3 different fresh meat ingredients.

Put simply, we believe ORIJEN is the best dry dog or cat food available worldwide. While lower in protein and total meat content than ORIJEN, ACANA provides unbeatable value and a price point that makes Biologically Appropriate pet foods accessible to a wider range of pet lovers.


Take some time and view the company's video. You'll see that their food is better than many human grade food. Champion Petfoods | Home
