NATURE'S LOGIC ORIGINAL DRY DOG FOOD Review

With an average score of 6.6, Nature’s Logic’s Original dry dog food line is considered low to moderate risk. The line is high in protein and averages 22% carbohydrate, which is nicely low for a kibble. Large amounts of starch can increase insulin levels, cause obesity and negatively impact gut balance.

The Original line typically features meal as the primary ingredient. This can be either good or bad. While meal is typically highly processed, it doesn’t contain as much water weight as fresh meats. The water weight can allow food manufacturers to place animal protein as the first ingredient on the label, when it might actually be lower down the label once the water weight is removed.   

Staying on ingredient quality, Nature’s Logic Original line does not contain any added vitamins or minerals. This can indicate higher quality ingredients. But it’s worth noting that unlike most other foods, Nature’s Logic has not been formulated to meet AAFCO nutritional requirements but has instead opted to perform feeding tests to determine the nutritional adequacy of their food.

On the ingredient safety side, Nature’s Logic Original dog foods uses millet as their primary carbohydrate source. This crop is known to be sprayed with Roundup before harvest, costing the food some safety points for high pesticide/herbicide foods in the top 5 ingredients. 

The food features added probiotics but does not appear to guarantee the viable CFU. Finally, the food does not provide the omega-6:omega-3 ratio, which is a concern since AAFCO allows a very inflammatory ratio of 30:1.
