Best Organic Dog Food Brands

Organic dog food manufacturers have started to take over. This is because they know that their customers (pet owners) are much more knowlegeable and informed.

Simple common sense would tell us that by reducing the intake of chemicals, preservatives, artificial products, by-products, over processed foods, pesticides and hormone laden meat on a regular daily basis would make us healthier. The same goes for our pets.

What exactly does buying organic pet food mean? It is the same criteria that is required for all producers of certified organic food, whether the food is meant for human consumption, or animal consumption. So the food used in certified organic dog food is then consider human grade.

An organic farmer must meet stringent requirements and be certified through a third party agency, and all their produce must be grown without the use of pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides or GMO's. (genitically modified organisms)

As for the animals raised organically, they must be certified free from hormones, antibiotices, GMO's and must themselves be fed and organic diet, and live a happier humane lifestyle with access to open pastures and socialization with others animals.

If you want to eliminate allergies, long term illnesses such as diabetes, thyroid problems, immune deficiencies, or cancer and give your pet a longer healthier life, then try switching to certified organic dog food.

Certified organic dog food is now more readily availabe in local pet stores, and also available for order online at many reliable stores that deliver directly to your door.

When you are looking for an organic dog food diet check the certification label on the packaging. This will vary depending on whether the complete product is 95% + organic. These products carry the certified organic stamp.

If a food has less than 95% organic ingredients, then it will not have the certification, but is able to advertise "made with organic ingredients."

One of the best organic dog food brands that I have found and recommed highly is Dr. Harveys Canine Pre Mix. This formula contains a meat free pre-mix using organic vegetables, fruit and herbs. This is a dehydrated dog food mix that is meat free, so you add the same organic meat that you purchase for your family. This is the perfect, easy "homemade organic dog food diet.'"

Natural Planet Organic dog food is another excellent choice. This comes in a dry formula only, and is certified organic by the Oregon Tilth. The even use 100% compostable packaging.

My last choice, but also highly recommended is Natural Balance Organics Formula dry dog food . Natural Balance use only free-roaming, humanely treated, antibiotic and hormone free chicken, with a wide range of organic ingredients. This does contain grains, so for those of you who are looking for grain free this is not for you. Please note that the grain used is organic brown rice, which is a plus.

Allergies and the food we feed our dogs are generally related.

I found elimating low quatlity dog food has completely cured my dog of a horrible allergy problem.

I upgraded to an organic dog food and saw a difference right away.
