For your Elder Cats that need a Boost!

My 13-year-old cat, Xander, has always loved ORIJEN food, but I’ll admit he snubbed the Senior recipe at first! We started mixing it with his other food, and now he’s all in. I really like that it’s grain-free and packed with fresh, high-quality animal ingredients because I know he’s getting the nutrients he needs as he ages. Since he’s been on this food, I’ve noticed a real boost in his energy, and even his coat looks shinier. If you’ve got a senior kitty, this is a great choice—but maybe try mixing it if you have a picky eater like my cat.

High quality food that my cats loved

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

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.

Good for senior felines

This was a good dry food for my senior cats. They really seemed to adapt to it easily and enjoyed it. Personally, I didn't care for the smell... rather fishy.
