Orijen is a premium pet food brand known for its 'Biologically Appropriate' nutrition philosophy, focusing on high meat content and fresh regional ingredients. Originally founded in Alberta, Canada, in 2005 by Reinhard Muhlenfeld under the company Champion Petfoods, the brand has grown into a global leader in the premium pet nutrition space.
In 2023, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when Mars, Incorporated, a global conglomerate, acquired Champion Petfoods. Today, Orijen operates as part of the Mars Petcare division. Despite the change in corporate ownership, the brand maintains its reputation for using fresh, whole-prey animal ingredients. Manufacturing remains specialized; products destined for the Canadian, European, and Asian markets are typically produced at the NorthStar Kitchen in Morinville, Alberta, Canada, while products for the Americas are manufactured at the DogStar Kitchen in Auburn, Kentucky, USA.
