Many owners worry that the dog food they buy may contain additives that are harmful to their dog's health. Therefore, natural dog food has become increasingly popular among owners today. However, due to the current chaotic market, it is necessary to know how to distinguish natural dog food. Below, we will teach you how to identify natural dog food.

Natural Dog Food

　　Natural dog food means that all the main ingredients of the dog food are sourced from nature, without any artificial chemical preservatives, antioxidants, etc. It is composed of fresh pure meat, natural grains, plants, animal fats, natural antioxidants, and is puffed and shaped into pellets. The entire line of food is made from the best meats and fruits and vegetables, guaranteeing the most natural ingredients. Long-term feeding of natural food helps maintain dogs’ health and lifespan without any side effects or residues. It is hailed by many pet lovers as "the most perfect dog food." It can mainly be distinguished from the following three aspects:

　　1. Look at the ingredient list

　　The standard for natural food is human-edible quality; the first two items in the ingredient list must include a human-edible quality meat (if the ingredient list is trustworthy). Generally, the ingredient list does not include bone meal, meat meal, animal by-products, soybean meal, corn, wheat bran, and similar grains.

　　2. Look at the packaging

　　Pet foods that meet AAFCO and FEDIAF natural food standards can have the word "nature" clearly printed on their packaging. Without it, it is not natural food. But most pet food packaging won't print "nature" alone because manufacturers generally add some nutritional elements during production (adding these nutrients, even synthetic ones, meets the standards). So the packaging mostly labels: nature with added calcium.

　　3. Look at reputation

　　Before buying, choose dog food brands with good reputation and high ratings. You can communicate and share dog food selection experience with other dog owners online or in caretakers' groups. Currently, high-end natural dog food brands with good reputations in the market include Orijen, EVO, AVODerm Avocado, Fish4Dogs Ocean Star; mid-to-low end brands such as Canidae, Karnivor, Kabi, Beiruiqi, and Blue Buffalo are also good options. Everyone can also purchase on Boqi website.
