Summary
Orijen Regional Red™ is a high-protein dry cat food formulated to meet the nutritional needs of indoor and outdoor adult cats through a biologically appropriate, meat-rich diet.
The first ingredient is fresh or raw beef, a highly digestible animal protein that supports lean muscle maintenance and provides essential amino acids for overall feline health.
With 90% animal ingredients, including beef, wild boar, lamb, pork, and various fish meals, the formula delivers a diverse range of proteins and organ meats that mimic a natural prey-based diet.
The inclusion of WholePrey components – meat, organs, and bone – ensures a rich supply of naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, such as taurine, calcium, and phosphorus, thereby reducing the need for synthetic additives.
At 40% crude protein and 20% fat, the formula supports high energy levels, muscle development, and a healthy skin and coat, making it especially suitable for active or outdoor cats.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, including DHA (0.3%) and EPA (0.2%), contribute to cognitive function, cardiovascular health, and anti-inflammatory support.
Probiotics in the form of Bacillus coagulans (100 million CFU/lb) help maintain a balanced gut microbiome and support digestive health.
Legumes, such as lentils, beans, and peas, provide fiber and plant-based nutrients, aiding in digestion and promoting a sense of satiety.
Fruits and vegetables like pumpkin, squash, apples, and cranberries offer natural antioxidants and phytonutrients that support immune function and urinary tract health.
The freeze-dried coating enhances palatability, making the food more appealing to picky eaters while preserving the nutritional integrity of raw ingredients.

How the score is calculated?
The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.
To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:
(1) Amount of protein (more is better)
(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)
(3) Quality and source of ingredients.
Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.
One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.
In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.
Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.
Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.
Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.
Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.
Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.
The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
