One thing to flag before anything else: Orijen's own product page publishes an ingredient list that stops mid word, at pyridox, partway through the vitamin block. We have transcribed exactly what the manufacturer publishes rather than completing it, so treat the tail of that list as unknown and read the can. On the substance, this is the only pate in the range carrying the full growth AAFCO statement including large breed puppies, which is what makes it usable as a puppy diet rather than an adult one, and at 1255 kcal/kg it is the most calorie dense of the four Orijen wet recipes checked this week. Four of the first five ingredients are animal: chicken, chicken liver, chicken heart and mackerel.
