Your Questions About Organic Dog Food Brands
James asks…
What are some brands of dog food that do not contain animal by-products?
I am looking to switch dog foods (yes, I know to introduce it gradually) since I found out that when “by-product” is listed it could include ground up organs/bones and even euthanized animals, like cats and dogs. Do you know any brands of dog food with out any by-products that I can buy in a store (not order off the web)? I know Authority is one, but if anyone could provide different brands, it would be appreciated so that I can look over each one and choose. I’ve also checked a lot of websites, but I can’t seem to find a good list. If you know of any sites, feel free to paste a link.
Those of you that want to criticize my choice to buy food without by-products, please save your breath…or fingers in this case.

There are many many many premium dog food choices out there, it would drive one crazy.
Canidae is a good all-life stages food that is fairly cheap if you shop right.
Merrick is also all-life stages, but is more on the pricey side
Wellness also all-life stages
Innova
DVP’s Natural Balance
Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul
Artemis
Timberwolf Organics (might have to look online, not sure where you are located)
Castor & Pollux
Blue Buffalo (sold only at PetsMart)
Nutro (but often contains wheat and corn and soy and should be avoided)
Here’s a key–avoid corn, wheat, soy, by-products (so you know), any animal source that is not specific (animal fat…animal digest) because it can come from any animal whose quality and origin is unknown (euth’d shelter animals, horses, goats, geese…)
And kudos to you for looking out for your dog’s health! The skin and coat will thank you!!
Jenny asks…
What are some good dog food brands?
I was just reading about how Purina, Iams, and several other well-known brands are not good dog foods. What are some good, healthy dog foods?
admin answers:
Here are a few that are good: Solid Gold, Wellness, Canidae, Timberwolf Organics, Innova, and Artemis Fresh Mix, there are several more but these are really good foods. They may be a bit pricey initially but they come out cheaper because you feed less. These are 100% human grade dog food with NO corn, wheat, soy, grain fractions, fillers or by products – and naturally preserved.

The link I have provided sells dog food online but you can also look up the ingredients (on this site) to any of the ones I have listed plus any other dog foods you may be interested in, they have many brands listed.
The best thing you can do is research the different brands. Meat should be the first ingredient and the foods should NOT contain corn, wheat, soy, beef or by-products and it should also be made from human grade ingredients.
George asks…
What is in the dog food that makes my dog scratch so much?
I was told that my dog may be alergic to certain dog food. She does not have fleas and still scratches alot, I’m trying different brands of food to see which one will help. Anyone have any ideas what I could do or what type of shampoo to use or not use?
admin answers:
Your dog could have been biten from a different kind of insect like a mosquito. Your dog might have dry skin which is really quite nasty. If she/he does you should use special flaky skin shampoo for dogs or organic shampoo for dogs. Aloe vera rubbed into the skin is not a good thing to do( most people say it does) but it just makes matters worse. Your dog may be lactose intolerent aswell. Make sure you check with your vet. You could also give your dog one sardine per meal. The oil in the sardines help your dogs coat to become shiny and healthy looking. Plus the Omega 3 in the sardines are great for your dog.
