Overview
["This 4 lb bag is a grain-free, high-protein dry kibble formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, using the Regional Red recipe with apple, kelp, peas, and pumpkin as special ingredients. It's free of gluten, potato, and soy, matching the same quality positioning as other ORIJEN cat food lines.", 'ORIJEN markets it around digestive health, heart care, and skin and coat health, with no added antibiotics or artificial flavors claimed. The kibble uses the same distinct disc-shaped pieces found across the ORIJEN cat food range.', "At $40.99 for 4 lb, it's priced at the premium end, and its 4.6 star average from 750 reviews, with about 700 bought in the past month, suggests a smaller but steady audience compared to the brand's more established Original recipe."]
