The Orijen Fit and Trim food is specifically formulated for dogs who need weight control, without sacrificing protein quality. 40% crude protein (to help preserve muscle mass during weight loss), just 13% fat, and 8% fiber for satiety. Always 85% animal ingredients, WholePrey philosophy, and freeze-dried coating.
⚖️ Weight control, Orijen style: 40% protein, 13% fat
Where ordinary "light" recipes reduce protein (and therefore muscle mass), Orijen increases it and reduces fat. Grain-free. Result: your dog loses fat, not muscle.
⚖️ Why increase protein instead of lowering it for weight control?
Many "light" recipes cut all calories without distinction, which causes muscle loss along with fat. But muscle is what burns calories at rest! By increasing protein and reducing fat, Orijen Fit and Trim preserves muscle mass (and therefore metabolism) while creating a calorie deficit. Your dog loses fat, not muscle. It's the same logic used in human sports nutrition.
Fresh chicken (25%), raw herring (6%), raw turkey (6%), chicken offal (6%), hake (5%), mackerel (5%), fresh eggs (5%), plus dehydrated versions. The protein diversity remains complete despite the reduced fat.
Lentil fiber, apple fiber, dried chicory root, whole legumes. Fiber slows digestion and provides a prolonged feeling of fullness, helping manage hunger between meals.
Marine algae provide DHA (omega-3) without any significant added fat. A smart way to keep the benefits of omega-3 in a reduced-calorie recipe.
Turmeric (anti-inflammatory), milk thistle (liver support), burdock root (cleansing), marshmallow root, rose hips (natural vitamin C).

For weight loss, we recommend calculating the ration based on the dog's target ideal weight, not its current weight.
| Target weight | Daily ration (approximate) |
|---|---|
| 5 kg (11 lb) | 1/2 to 3/4 cup |
| 10 kg (22 lb) | 7/8 to 1 1/4 cup |
| 20 kg (44 lb) | 1 1/2 to 2 cups |
| 30 kg (66 lb) | 2 to 2 1/2 cups |
| 40 kg (88 lb) | 2 1/2 to 3 cups |
For weight loss, track progress in 1 to 2% increments of initial body weight per week. Our team can help you set up a plan.
Healthy weight loss is slow : 1 to 2% of body weight per week. For a 20 kg overweight dog, allow 2 to 4 months depending on the goal. The key: stick to the portions and limit treats.
Yes, that's the whole point of the 8% fiber: it slows digestion and creates a prolonged feeling of fullness. Switching from the regular recipe to Fit and Trim does not mean a hungry dog.
Original: 38% protein, 18% fat (active/standard dog profile). Fit and Trim: 40% protein, 13% fat, more fiber. Same animal sources (poultry and fish), same quality, but a profile adjusted for weight management.
Yes, it's actually one of its use cases. Neutering slightly slows metabolism (sometimes up to -20% of calorie needs), which makes a "fit" recipe especially suitable.
Fit and Trim is our recommendation for dogs that need to lose weight without sacrificing quality. It's an excellent alternative to ordinary "light" recipes. Our team can help you set up a personalized weight-loss plan.
