Your Questions About Organic Dog Food

admin answers:

Any kind of organic brand is better than what you were feeding her, do a search on google it should come up with a few. I know they carry some at Petco, introduce it slowly into her diet, adding little by little to her current food for a period of about 1-2 weeks. If you can supplement with things like raw egg, cottage cheese or plain yogurt.

I really don’t know of any dog foods that are certified as organic but there are plenty of foods that are good and healthy for your dog.

High quality dog foods will have named meats as the main ingredients and no grains. Grains are hard on a dog’s digestive system and are just cheap ingredients used to fill the dog up. Avoid foods that have corn, soy, wheat, by products, unnamed meats, unnamed fats, animal digest, added sugar, glutens, and artificial flavors/colors/preservatives.

I feed my dogs Orijen, the Regional Red kind in particular. I feel Orijen is the best dry dog food out there, so long as the dog’s digestive system agrees with it. This food is loaded with meats which is what a dog is supposed to eat. All of the ingredients put into the food are inspected and passed fit for human consumption before using them.

I also mix in Before Grain canned dog food with their food often for added moisture content. High quality meat based canned foods are even better because of the moisture, it’s less processed, and most have no preservatives. The food is more in its natural state. They also get the occasional Tiki Dog canned food alone, which is actually passed fit for human consumption straight out of the can.

Other high quality foods are Acana Grain Free, Nature’s Variety Instinct, Before Grain, Wellness Core, Canidae Grain Free Pure, and EVO.

A good rule of thumb is avoid any foods sold in a grocery store. No food sold in a grocery store is going to have high quality meats in the food and be grain free.

I use Acana Grasslands, It’s not organic but it is natural ingredients. I like it because the ingredients put in are fit for human consumption and it is all meat based. It’s grain free which is all I feed because grains are not needed by dogs and are high in unnecessary carbs. Also the food has no by products, animal digest, added sugar, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. I also feed canned and the brands are Tiki Dog and Weruva Human Style, both passed fit for human consumption straight out of the can. All of these foods have all needed vitamins and minerals. What more can I ask for.
