What is 'organic dog food'?
When a food is labeled 'organic' it means that it's untouched by preservatives, pesticides, hormones or anti-biotics. In the United States, any dog food that claims to be organic, has to meet very strict standards set by the Department of Agriculture.Although no actual research or long-term studies have been done that prove organic is better, many health professionals believe that it improves a dog's overall health as well as increasing the length and quality of your best friend's life.
Organic dog food tends to contain a higher percentage of grains and also includes organic fruits and vegetables in it's ingredients. Some manufacturers of this type of food are trying to recreate a diet for your pet that is closer to the type of diet they believe a dog would eat in the wild. They include veggies and fruits as they believe that if a carnivorous dog killed and ate, for example a rabbit, they would also ingest the contents of it's tummy...most likely berries, greens and so on.
