Natural dog food is food made from animal, plant, or mined ingredients and no chemically synthetized ingredients, under the definition used by AAFCO. Complete and balanced recipes usually include added vitamins and minerals, as well. Natural dog foods are usually free from ingredients like artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, but they may contain natural flavors and preservatives.
Some vets recommend natural dog food, while others do not. Although many people like the idea of feeding their dogs a natural diet, there's not enough evidence that natural dog food is superior to regular commercial dog food diets. However, some vets may recommend trying natural foods for pets—especially those with allergies or sensitivities. Ask your vet about the best food to feed your pup.
Store natural dog food according to the package directions. Natural dry kibble and unopened canned food are usually shelf-stable and made to last just as long as regular dog foods when properly stored.
