Reinhard Muhlenfeld established the Canadian pet food company Orijen in 1985. The business is situated in Alberta, Canada, and focuses on creating premium, nutritionally sound dog and cat food.

Puppies in their early stages of development need special nourishment, which is why Orijen dog food was created. To promote optimum growth and development, it has a lot of protein as well as the right proportions of fat and carbs. The company takes pleasure in utilizing locally grown, fresh foods including free-range poultry, wild-caught fish, and ranch-raised meats.

Orijen highlights the need of a physiologically suitable diet for dogs in addition to their emphasis on quality ingredients. This implies that their-food is designed to imitate a dog’s or cat’s natural diet, which includes a range of fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables. In addition, the firm does not use any artificial preservatives, colors, or tastes in its meals.[2] PETFOODEX
