If you are looking for organic dog food products for your dog, you may have noticed that it’s more complicated than you might think. Something that should be so simple is actually quite dog-gone tricky and you can bet... that’s the plan.
Manufacturers (and product marketers) are pro at knowing just the right wrong way to word things and the psychology behind it all. Before you fall prey to these less-than-honest tactics, there are a few things you should know. We will wrap it all up with our top 25 picks for the best organic dog food products on the market.

What Does Organic Entail?
It’s an organic revolution! Going organic is all the craze these days but before going any further, it’s important to know exactly what organic is...and isn’t.
By definition, organic is more about the absence of things than it is the presence of ingredients. Organic foods are not to contain or involve the use of chemicals (including fertilizers), GMO’s, growth stimulants, sewage sludge, pesticides, or antibiotics. Organic foods are meant to be healthy and safe. But are they?
The same regulations placed on human organic products are implemented for 
organic dog food products...and then some. While both human and dog foods are overseen by the National Organic Program (or, NOP) which is under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), organic animal feed is also supervised by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).
In order to be certified as organic, the product must be a minimum of 95% organic. Generally, if a dog food passes the NOP certification, it is automatically accepted by the AAFCO as well. Such products for human and animals alike will bear an official organic seal.
Dog Food Dangers
What You Don’t Know Could Hurt Your Dog
It’s frustrating and scary to know that not all makers of dog food and pup treats have our pet’s best interest at heart even if the bag, can, or package even if it has a picture on it of the cutest, healthiest puppy ever.
The problem is called...greed! And the result of feeding it to your beloved fur-baby could be fatal. Here are some issues that are quite common in the dog food industry:
Artificial Preservatives
Preservatives are necessary in order to keep most food, like dog food, from going bad. There are artificial and natural varieties though. Vitamins E (also known as tocopherol) and C (ascorbate) are examples of natural preservatives.
Not all artificial preservatives are dangerous. But...some are and all dog parents need to be aware of them. Artificial preservatives are used most often and you can probably guess why. Synthetic ones are cheaper.
Ethoxyquin was observed to have negative reactions in animals two decades ago. It comes as no surprise since it is also an ingredient in pesticides. Despite the finding, it continues to be used.
The reason given by some dog food companies is that there hasn’t been a viable alternative discovered yet. It was actually invented for the rubber industry to prevent cracking.
Ethoxyquin can cause kidney and liver disease and can lead to death as well. Decreased urination functions, diminishing physical activeness, brown urine, and gums that are pale in color are signs and symptoms that ethoxyquin may be causing damage.
Other preservatives can be harmful too. BHA, BHT are known to be carcinogenic. Propylene glycol is also known as anti-freeze and is used as a fat and oil preservative in dog foods.
Ironically, canines are attracted to the scent and love the taste of the poison.
Artificial Colors
You know the cute little kibbles in dog foods that are shaped and colored to resemble healthy foods, like corn and carrots? Those could kill your dog. While the intent is for those things to look natural, we all know they are not. If it doesn’t look natural, you can bet it isn’t.
The problem with artificial colors in dog foods and dog treats is that they are proven to be toxic. Even at a low concentration of just 2%, bright red food dye (Ponceau SX) caused three out of five dogs to die in one clinical study alone.
Those brilliant blue treat bones are pretty but the ugly truth is that it stunts dogs’ growth and is believed to diminish dogs’ ability to fight virus infections. Other dyes affect the liver and kidneys and some cause cancer.
Fat Rendering
The wording is everything where marketing is concerned and the dog food industry is fully aware of how they can turn something negative into a positive money making scheme. While it would be unheard of to brag about adding rendered fat into human food, the opposite is true where dog food is concerned.
Claims that rendered fat is beneficial to dogs is a lie sold by many dog food manufacturers. The fat actually consists of animal tissue waste, for starters and the “rendering” method is less than healthy as is the end product. Natural fats, on the other hand, are good for your dog. But...there’s a big difference.
Rendered fats in dog foods come from discarded animal fats. They are heated into lard and mixed with the dog food, especially dry dog food because it adds moisture.
Some dry foods are heavily laden with rendered fats and can cause gastrointestinal problems for your dog, appetite loss, thinning of his coat, loss of his coat, and ulcers.
By-Products
In the arena of dog food, if an animal part isn’t a muscle tissue, it’s a by-product. By-products can be organs, such as liver, or hooves, hair, and teeth. There’s a wide stretch there which can even include tumors and diseased tissues. And yes, the FDA is fully aware that diseased are used in the making of many dog foods and they allow it.
Diseases Commonly Caused by Dog Food
While the manufacturers of tainted dog food skirt around the issues, there is no doubt that the following medical issues can be caused by the faulty food:
Obesity
Dog foods that are high in fat can easily lead to obesity in our furry friends. Obesity gives way to other medical conditions such as pancreatitis and diabetes. It can also lead to heart problems.
Adding rendered fat (commonly known as lard) to dog food is one thing but claiming it is beneficial is quite another.
Malnutrition
Dogs living on the street aren’t the only ones who suffer from malnutrition. Even if your dog is eating good, regular meals but the food is not healthy, he could be suffering from malnutrition.
Many processed dog foods lack adequate protein and essential fatty acids too. The deficiencies of such a poor diet can result in medical ailments and even death.
Diabetes
Diabetes Mellitus can be triggered and worsened by a doggie diet that is high on the glycemic index. One of the worst culprits of the scale is process carbohydrates which can wreak havoc on blood sugar.
Kibbles loaded with carbs can be fatal to dogs while grains that are natural and wholesome can be tolerated if, and only if, they are part of a well-balanced diet.
Gastroenteritis
Canned commercial dog foods have a history of being recalled due to bacterial contamination. The most common bacteria are salmonella, campylobacter, E. coli, and Clostridium. Contamination can cause serious illness and even death. Once a food is recalled, it can be too late, at least for some dogs.
Urinary Stones or Crystals
When food is unusually high in protein, the wrong kind of protein especially, urinary stones and crystals can develop in dogs who are predisposed to be candidates for such an ailment. Many commercial dog foods heap in proteins but they are not the kinds that are healthy for your pet.
Suppression of the Immune System
Many commercial dog food kibbles are contaminated with immunosuppressive mycotoxins which simply means your dog’s kibbles contain things that may compromise his immune system. This usually occurs during the manufacturing process. When your dog’s immune system is not working correctly, it can have fatal results.
Imbalance of Nutrition
When a dog food is not properly balanced and that is most or all of what your dog is eating, there’s a problem. The result can be stunted growth, a wide range of ailments, heart disease, blindness and so much more.
It is imperative to give your furry loved one a dog food that is well-balanced according to his age and other requirements. Your veterinarian can help you find out exactly what your dog’s needs are so you can be sure to meet them rather than blindly trusting a dog food to supply it.
Metabolic Disorders and Diseases
When dog food doesn’t have enough calcium or various other nutrients in it and that is the main source of your dog’s diet, it can lead to metabolic disease. Hyperparathyroidism is one such condition that is common to dogs that suffer from this. Bone disease is another.
Allergic Reactions
Dog foods can cause allergic reactions in dogs. The most prominent kinds are skin related. One way they can do this is my having mites that get into the dry food while it is being stored.
Another thing that happens is dogs are allergic to the ingredients and end up having allergic symptoms such as itching, a shallowness of breath, and even death. It is generally the meat or protein in the mix or the additives, grain, or fillers that causes the sensitivity.
Vitamin D and Calcium Build Up
Too much of a good thing can be bad. It can even be deadly. Such is the case with excessive amounts of vitamin D and calcium in your dog’s system. Developmental bone diseases like hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia can occur and bone deformities can take place as well.
If you are thinking that you can’t afford to feed your dog organic food, consider the cost of medical conditions like the ones above. The emotional price for having a helpless, ill dog is even greater.
The truth is, we have all too little time to spend with our furry loves in the first place. Even dogs that have the longest life expectancies are far too short. Why risk your dog’s days with something that is preventable?
Learning the Lingo and Cracking the Code
It’s clear that there are serious issues within the dog food industry. Awareness is only half the battle though. It’s time to get to the solutions.
There are some things that dog food companies don’t want consumers to know. Those are the very things we, as pet parents, need to know. We deserve to know them.
Here is a list of some tricky wordings and downright dirty tactics used on many commercial dog foods and what they really mean:
First Ingredient
You are thrilled that the dog food you were looking at has beef listed as the very first ingredient. In fact, you are suddenly feeling like a very responsible pet parent and man, what a great price you’re getting.
Before you get too excited though, check the rest of the ingredients. ..it reads like this: beef 40%, corn 25%, peas 25%, carrots 10%. Hum...it seems as if corn, peas, and carrots are all vegetables.
Why doesn’t it just say: vegetables 60%? The answer is simple. If it did, then the beef would not be the main ingredient. And...it’s not- vegetables are the main ingredient. Do you see where this can be deceiving?
Weight
Another thing to know is that the products are weighted out and measured prior to cooking. Meat will come out weighing less and rice will end up weighing more. So a mixture that was 50-50, beef and rice is actually more like 40% beef and 60% rice in the end.
With:
Alright! You have found a brand that’s affordable and it says right on the label “with lamb”. Your dog loves lamb but you never felt you could afford such a luxury for him. It’s his lucky day. ..is it?
The sketchy thing about the four letter word “with” is that as far as dog food regulations go, it means the product must contain at least 4% of the ingredient.
“With lamb” simply means at least 4% of the product is lamb and that doesn’t specify what part of the lamb. It could be lamb teeth or hair and yes...that is a hard, cold and very sad fact.
100% Organic?
You can’t go wrong with 100% organic. Can you? Well, in the dog food world, it’s definitely the better option. Still, there a lot more to it than meets the eye. If you are having a cake that’s organic, or a candy bar, that is better than having one that has artificial dyes, GMOs, and so forth.
But it doesn’t make it good for you. Just because the ingredients in your dog’s food are organic, doesn’t mean they are good for him and are conducive to his diet. You wouldn’t give him an organic grape because grapes are toxic to dogs regardless.
A lot of processing may have taken place during the making of his food as well and when that happens, nutrients are lost. Also, watch for words that imply “organic” but are spelled differently. Some use “organix” on the label.
There is a brand called “Organix” and we even have some of their products on our top 25 organic dog food products list. The product passed our test but certainly not due to the brand name as they were cause for us to examine it even closer.
And about that 100% claim- an organic certification only requires that 70% of the product be organic while the wording “all organic” requires the product to be 100% organic. So, if a product is, in fact, 100% organic, why not just say “all organic”?
Furthermore, the fact that a dog food is organic, even “all organic”, doesn’t mean that it wasn’t processed so much it lost all or most of the nutritional value or that it wasn’t overexposed to heat and all nutrients exhausted from it.
Making the Feed-grade
Feed-grade is a term that is very deceiving. In fact, it should be alarming. Feed-grade is not fit for human consumption and sometimes, not even for dog consumption. Grease, deceased animals, and even waste all qualify as “feed grade. That is not to say that feed-grade is all bad but...it can be.
The Human-grade Tactic
Feed-grade may not offer a lot of assurance on a dog food label, but when it’s “human-grade”, it’s got to be good. Well, not so much. While a genuine human-grade product, for humans or pets, must follow certain food standards for safety and quality, it doesn’t mean the ingredients are quality ones.
Sure, the product must contain 100% food ingredients, but what qualifies as food can be scary. Raw dog foods cannot claim to be human grade due to the regulations.
All Natural and Natural
Organic foods are natural and all natural too. Natural and all natural foods and dog foods aren’t necessarily organic though. Natural foods do have to be all natural. Confused?
If so, the mission is accomplished. The more confused a consumer is, the better, for those who are seeking to sell by throwing the customer off. As far as the USDA goes, a natural product cannot contain artificially added color or artificial ingredients but they can contain some chemicals, growth-stimulating hormones, and antibiotics.
The legalities of the “natural” words are so sketchy, the powers that be are still trying to figure them out.
Gourmet Dining
When a dog food has “gourmet” on the label, you naturally picture a canine king or queen in their pooch palace with a golden bowl of fine cuisine before them. Right?
And since you long to give your dog the royal treatment, you feel so good when you buy it for him. What does gourmet in a dog food actually mean though? Ironically, there are no regulations and the term can be used on any dog food product. Surprised?
There are some good gourmet dog foods as you will see in our top 25 picks. But it’s the ingredients, processing, and absence of ingredients that will tell that tale- not the fact that it sports the word “gourmet” on the label.
The “Grass-fed” Trick
If you’ve counted on the fact that your dog’s beef or poultry was grass fed to mean it is of optimal quality, you may be seeing green when you learn that the USDA doesn’t have stiff regulations in place as to what that entails.
When a label states “grass fed with free-range”, it gets even trickier. As long as the animal is allowed out of containment to graze the field for even a short time, boom!
They have been grass fed with free range. Another question is - what type of grass are they eating? What qualifies as grass and is that grass necessarily good for the source animal...and for your dog?
Is it mushed up in feed or was the cow (or whatever animal) truly allowed to enjoy grazing the grass as the picture in our head likes to believe? Perhaps we will never know that answer.
Free-range and Cage-free
No one likes to think that animals are abused, even the chickens, cows, and other livestock that feed our beloved fur-babies. It’s all in nature’s food chain though so we deal with it or go vegetarian. Since dogs are carnivorous by nature, the majority of pet parents opt to feed their four-legged friends meat.
Thinking that the source animals have had a happy life of being uncaged and out in the wild gives us consolation. Plus, many of us believe that a peaceful state of being at the time of processing has a direct connection to the product we eat.
Even marketing advertisers play on that fact when they assure us their cows or chickens are happy (or...were, at least). But, the terms are very loosely used. A tight and cramped, confined spot inside a coop can be considered “cage-free”.
And, as mentioned above, cage-free can amount to the animal being out of confinement just minutes per day. “Grass-fed” has no regulation on the amount of grass the animal was fed or what else they ate along with the grass.
One thing the labeling claims of being grass-fed and free-range do assure, however, is that the price tag will be higher. That you can be sure of in most cases.
Grain-free - to Be or Not to Be?
That, my fellow pet parent, is the question. While if the dog food states that it is grain-free, it must not technically contain soy, barley, oats, corn, or wheat, what it can contain is hair-raising.
It is not unusual for a brand to fill the void with fats and other unwanted ingredients so be sure to check out exactly what takes the place of the product that is free of grains.
The presence of grains, in some cases, could outweigh the price you pay for them not being in the mix if all the wrong things are added instead.
The Big Benefits of Organic Dog Food Products
While even the organic dog food product industry isn’t without flaws, it is far better than most commercial, non-organic brands. Here are some of the benefits you’ll get when you go organic for Fido:
No Artificial Preservatives
Artificial preservatives are as bad for dogs as they are for humans. Giving a dog the chemicals used to preserve many commercial dog foods are nothing short of abusive.
The manufacturers and marketers certainly don’t want consumers savvy about their use of them but the secret is out and now you can make better choices.
No Artificial Dyes or Colorings
Artificial dyes can cause your beloved dog an untold amount of suffering and can even lead to death. There’s no reason to add them. Your dog doesn’t care if his food has green kibbles that are supposed to resemble peas in it or not.
You should care though. All those colorful fake vegetables and cute little-colored treats are dangerous for your pup because artificial dyes can be deadly.
Fewer Allergies and Skin Irritations
For those of you who have watched your dog dig into his skin because it itches so badly, drawing blood and risking infection, you’ll appreciate the fact that organic dog food is less likely to give him an allergic reaction.
Itchy reactions can have a number of sources, like from grass or scratchy bedding, but there are many dogs who suffer from food allergies. When they are due to ingestion of poor quality dog foods (even premium blends), shampoos, sprays, dips, and ointments rarely help.
The quality grains and proteins found in good organic dog foods and the lack of chemical toxins reduce the risk of both allergies and irritations.
No By-products
By-products are not good for your pet, contrary to the marketing ploys of many dog food companies. It is simply lard that can clog your dog’s blood and lead to a myriad of other health ailments.
Good quality organic dog foods will not be full of by-products, pretending they are healthy for your dog’s diet.
Tastes Good and Satisfies
You know the difference between grabbing a cookie for dinner and having a healthy meal? Healthy eating satisfies while junk food doesn’t. The same is true when your dog eats organic as opposed to processed food.
He’ll be satisfied with organic because it is directly from the source. It tastes better too so especially if you have a picky eater, the good and delicious food will never be wasted.
Health and Longevity
All pet parents want the best for their dogs. Some things we have no control over but their diet is not one of them. We can give them the best food possible to keep them healthy, happy, and with us as long as possible.
