Orijen Cat Guardian 8 1.8kg
Overview
ORIJEN Guardian 8 is a complete dry food for adult cats, including all breeds. It is built around a high animal-ingredient recipe with a broad nutritional focus, bringing together fresh or raw poultry and fish ingredients, functional oils, fibre sources and naturally occurring taurine in one everyday maintenance diet.
The recipe is positioned around eight key areas of support: immune health, digestion, skin and coat, heart, muscle, joints, brain function and eye health. It also uses a freeze-dried coating for added flavour and includes no grain ingredients.
Store in a cool, dry place and serve as part of a balanced daily feeding routine. Fresh, clean water should always be available.
