Alternatives to Orijen: 9 better-rated foods

How we select alternatives to Orijen

For each species + food type combination represented in the Orijen range, we identify the highest-scored product from a competing brand. The A–E score synthesises five criteria: protein quality, overall nutritional balance, absence of undesirable additives, ingredient transparency, and species fit. No sponsorship can change a product's score — the methodology is applied uniformly across the catalog.
