so orijin is definitely one of the better brands just because they use a lot of whole meats
and organs and a lot of variety and proteins but up until now they've only had dry food but now
orijin finally has wet food so far i've only seen orijin wet cat food at petco
and also online on petco's website i haven't found it anywhere else except for orijin's
official website so let me know in the comments when you find it so that i can add some links
below hey friends it's jess and jericho and my mother actually bought some orijin wet cat food
after i told her that i saw that it was there so she tested it with her cats and today we're going
to review what i think about this cat food so my mom bought the duck and chicken entree orijin
cat food so that word entree right there means that there's between 25 and 94.9 percent duck and
chicken combined so this is a good product name because this is the most that you're going to see
with those named ingredients anything other than that like the word with or flavor there's going
to be even less so that's a pro right there is having that entree in the product name
the other pros that i see is that the first seven ingredients are all animal based protein so this
is really great they're all specifically named as well and they include heart and liver which is
amazing another pro is that this specific product duck and chicken entree does not have any fish
that's a pro because a lot of cats get addicted to fish and this causes picky eating another pro
is that it's low in carbohydrates so when you use the guaranteed analysis to get an approximate carb
amount you get around 2.5% but i would say it's probably more like zero percent because there are
no carbohydrate ingredients on the label so the duck and chicken entree is the one that charlie my
mother's cat is eating right now typically charlie is very picky about new foods but he went for this
one right away now i would say for cons there is a very long list of synthetic nutrients and frankly
you're going to see this in a lot of commercial cat foods but it's a little upsetting that it's
in this one specifically because they add a lot of animal based ingredients including heart and liver
there's no bones in this there's just bone broth can add some trace minerals but ideally the cat
would get his calcium from bones and another con here which is the same with all of them
is that it's cooked and processed ideally your cat would be eating fresh raw food and not
canned food i'm sure a lot of you are excited that orijin finally has wet cat foods go ahead and
type in the comments orijin finally has wet some other flavors that you'll see at the store include
chicken and salmon entree that word entree is the same minimum requirement of chicken and salmon
combined this one the first nine ingredients are all animal based proteins and again they're
specifically named it also has zero percent carbs on a dry matter basis it has the same cons as the
previous products that we looked at but i'm also going to add that this one has unspecified fish
bone broth so whenever you see something like that fish broth is kind of a mystery you have no idea
what kind of fish they're using and maybe they don't even know what kind of fish they're using
because it just says fish broth instead of salmon broth for example and then going off of that con
there's fish which can cause picky eating but you can use this to your advantage for example if your
cat is currently eating fish flavored food and is picky about when you introduce new foods maybe you
can use this wet cat food orijin's wet cat food that contains fish and it can help your cat get
used to eating better quality ingredients give me a polydactyl thumbs up if this is helpful so far
so more parents looking to upgrade their cat's food can find this video thank you very much
orijin also has an original entree now this one has the word entree which would fit under that
same rule however with this one there are no named ingredients so with the other ones we saw duck
and chicken and then chicken and salmon this one just says original so we have no idea which meat
is meeting that minimum requirement this one the first eight ingredients are animal based protein
and same as the other two they're specifically named and i like that they include heart and liver
and there are zero percent carbs on a dry matter basis but as i mentioned before that minimum
requirement we have no idea what it is and jericho is like i don't even care the next flavor that
you'll see of orijin wet cat food is tuna salmon and beef entree so this one has the same product
name rule this one actually has the first 11 ingredients are all animal based protein so this
is the first one that's had that has more animal based protein in it however i would say that a con
here is that the majority of those proteins are fish based proteins so again same pros and same
cons as the other products that we looked at but i would say that this one is probably the least
favorable in my opinion because it has so much fish in it and again fish can cause picky eating
and that's going to make the transition to raw or better quality wet food more difficult for you but
at the same time variety is key you want to make sure that you're feeding a variety of proteins
and a variety of brands to your cat because you never know what's going to be out of stock
you never know if they're going to change the formula completely and you want to make sure
that you have multiple options on hand when you need to feed your cat just make sure you
focus on one change at a time you don't want to throw too many different foods at your cat
all at once this can cause gi problems and you don't want to make your cat sick or stressed
you can check out this video right over meow for healthy cat treats those come in very handy when
your cat is picky you can use those to entice them to eat a little bit more thanks for watching
