Top » Column » [Origen] What is the food that uses all the nutritional value of ingredients for your beloved dog or cat?
Origen premium pet food is a product of Champion Pet Foods, a Canadian company, and is made using fresh, raw, high-quality ingredients.
Origin is made with an awareness of "biologically appropriate nutrition" and is manufactured with the intention that all the nutrients required by dogs and cats, which are naturally carnivores, should come from "whole prey", supporting the healthy growth of your beloved dog or cat.
Our premium ingredients, like pasture-raised livestock, free-range poultry and wild-caught or sustainably caught fish, make pet food that's right for your beloved dog or cat.
Bow Wow Place offers a wide selection of high-quality dog and cat food without any additives. This time, we will introduce Origen, which uses whole fresh ingredients from Canada.
1. Origen's Concept
1-1 What Origen wants to convey
Do you choose pet food only based on how your dog or cat likes it?
Dogs and cats are naturally carnivores whose bodies are adapted to a meat-based diet and require a lot of protein.
Therefore, to ensure that your beloved dog or cat lives a healthy and happy life, it is important that their food is not only delicious, but also rich in the protein that carnivores require.
ORIJEN has been researching for over 30 years to create fresh(※), nutritious food that your beloved dogs and cats will enjoy, using protein-rich meat as its main ingredient.
We provide the best food for your pets and the families who live with them.
*We use fresh ingredients within the last 5 days. Some lineups use only raw ingredients.
1-2 Are dogs and cats omnivores or carnivores?
Dogs inherit DNA from carnivores such as the gray wolf and cats inherit DNA from the African wildcat, so the functions of their internal organs have not changed since their ancestors.
The teeth, jaw structure, and intestinal length of dogs and cats are designed to digest meat, which is their natural diet, and their saliva does not contain amylase, which digests carbohydrates.
Let's take a look at the specific body structures of dogs and cats (see diagram below).

Therefore, in order for your beloved dog or cat to live a healthy and happy life, it is important that their food is not only delicious, but also rich in the protein that carnivores require.
Now, let's take a look at the features of Origen.
2. Features of Origen
2-1 Biologically Appropriate Nutrition
◆ Ideal meat and protein
ORIJEN ingredients contain more meat and protein than most other foods.
◆ Thoroughly reduced carbohydrates and grain free
It is not just important that the food is grain-free, but that it contains low amounts of carbohydrates, which dogs and cats have difficulty digesting.
ORIJEN food contains less than 20% carbohydrates. ORIJEN does not use carbohydrates with a high GI (an index that indicates the degree of rise in blood sugar levels after a meal).
2-2 The world's best ingredients
Freshness and high nutritional value
Origin is committed to whole play processing using raw materials within five days of procurement.
Whole prey means using raw ingredients such as meat, fish, and other animal ingredients, such as heart, liver, kidneys, and other internal organs, as well as a small amount of bone, in the proportions that correspond to the diet of a carnivore.
Processing raw materials within five days of production helps to preserve nutrients.
Also, cooking food in whole food ratios helps you get the various nutrients you need.
◆ Producers who have built trust over many years
As a result, we have won numerous awards of global standards recognized by breeders and veterinarians.
2-3 Our own kitchen maintains safety and quality
Produced in internationally recognized NORTSTAR kitchens to human food processing standards.
In addition, we have a state-of-the-art traceability system that tracks raw materials throughout the kitchen, records all information on the packaging code, and manages all cooking data from start to finish in real time.
2-4 Support for improving health and life expectancy through research by pet nutrition experts
Using the latest science, experts such as nutritionists, food scientists, and veterinarians conduct research to maintain and promote the health of pets, which is expected to help extend their healthy lifespan and prevent diseases such as urinary tract stones and kidney disease.
It appears to be suitable for the following health benefits:
Digestive health care, heart health care, skin and coat health care, immune support, tear stain care, obesity prevention support, etc.

The feeding amount is slightly less than that of regular dog and cat food.
This is because it is highly nutritious. Since the amount eaten is small, it also puts less strain on the stomach when digesting.
*Bow Wow Place also lists recommended feeding amounts for other types of Origen.

◆ Food transition
◆ Food rotation
Also, when you first introduce Origen, make sure to introduce it slowly, as the variety of nutrients and flavors will encourage your dog to eat it.
