Collection: Orijen Dog Treats

ORIJEN dog treats are made from quality animal ingredients, gently freeze-dried to preserve natural flavour and nutrition. At Canine & Co we stock four: Original (cage-free chicken, turkey and wild-caught flounder), Free Run Duck (pure Canadian duck), Beef Recipe (single-source beef) and Grass-Fed Lamb (raw lamb, lamb liver and lamb tripe). All are grain-free with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and every treat is made by Champion Petfoods in Canada.

Yes, all ORIJEN dog treats are completely grain-free. They are made from single-source animal protein with no grains, starches, fillers, or plant-based ingredients. This makes them an ideal choice for dogs on grain-free diets or dogs with sensitivities to grains and carbohydrates. The simple, clean ingredient list means you know exactly what you are feeding your dog with every treat.

ORIJEN freeze-dried treats are excellent for training. Their small size and lightweight texture make them easy to carry in a treat pouch, and they can be broken into even smaller pieces for frequent rewards during training sessions. Dogs find the freeze-dried meat flavour highly motivating, which helps reinforce positive behaviours effectively. Unlike soft or wet treats, ORIJEN freeze-dried treats do not leave greasy residue on your hands or pockets, making training sessions clean and convenient.

Yes, ORIJEN freeze-dried dog treats are suitable for puppies. Their single-ingredient, high-protein composition makes them a wholesome and easily digestible reward for growing dogs. For small puppies, simply break the treats into smaller pieces to make them appropriately sized. As with any treat, ensure that treats do not exceed 10% of your puppy's daily caloric intake, and adjust main meals accordingly. ORIJEN treats can be a wonderful tool for puppy training and socialisation.

ORIJEN dog treats are made using a gentle freeze-drying process. Fresh or raw animal ingredients are first flash-frozen to lock in their nutritional value, then placed in a vacuum chamber where the frozen moisture is removed through sublimation at low temperatures. This process preserves the natural flavour, aroma, and nutrients of the raw ingredients far more effectively than traditional baking or extrusion. The result is a lightweight, shelf-stable treat that tastes and smells like fresh meat to your dog while retaining the nutritional benefits of a raw ingredient.

ORIJEN freeze-dried treats can suit dogs with food sensitivities because three of the four are single-protein: Free Run Duck contains only duck, Beef Recipe only beef, and Grass-Fed Lamb only lamb (with lamb liver and tripe). Original is a poultry-and-fish blend, so choose one of the single-protein recipes if you are avoiding a specific ingredient. If your dog has a diagnosed allergy, always check the ingredient list and consult your veterinarian before introducing a new treat.

ORIJEN recommends that treats, including their freeze-dried treats, should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily caloric intake. The exact number of treats will depend on your dog's size, weight, and activity level. As a general guideline, a medium-sized dog can enjoy several treats per day within this 10% limit. Remember to reduce your dog's main meal portion slightly on days when you give more treats to maintain a healthy weight.

No, ORIJEN freeze-dried dog treats do not need to be refrigerated. The freeze-drying process removes moisture from the ingredients, creating a shelf-stable product that can be stored at room temperature. Simply keep the bag sealed between uses and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The resealable packaging helps maintain freshness. Once opened, aim to use the treats within a reasonable timeframe for the best flavour and texture, though they have a long shelf life thanks to the freeze-drying process.
