9 Best Organic Dog Food Brands (2024)
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
We’ve fed our furry friends the best natural and organic food for years — these are our top picks that are safe, healthy, and affordable.
Our pets are our everyday pride and joy. A little puppy love is enough to turn a bad day around. We want the best for them, and that’s why we feed our pets the very best food to ensure they’re healthy and happy.
Why choose organic food for our dogs?
Like us, our pets need nourishment from the inside out, and the food we give them plays a huge role in that. Unfortunately, much of the dog food out there is extremely processed and filled with harmful ingredients such as fillers, additives, and artificial ingredients, which can be detrimental to an animal’s health. Many pet owners find that organic and natural pet food can help with allergies, skin conditions, and digestion issues since it often contains higher-quality ingredients. Plus, organic farming practices are generally better for the environment, so you’re not just benefiting your furry friend but you’re also supporting eco-friendly practices. That’s why we’ve collected some of the best natural dog food brands that offer healthy and natural formulas with a range of wholesome and integrative nutrition options. (And even meal service subscriptions!)

Our editors have fed our pets natural and organic foods and researched the best options on the market to put together this list. All of the brands here are clean and organic, have healthy ingredients, and we’ve even included affordable options that rival your normal kibble.
