Pet parents today are paying closer attention to ingredients—and with good reason. Organic natural dog food combines two important feeding values: certified organic ingredients and simple, natural nutrition without unnecessary additives.
This category of dog food goes beyond marketing buzzwords. It’s about real transparency. “Organic” means strict USDA standards for how ingredients are grown and sourced. “Natural” means the food is made without artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. Together, they create a feeding solution that supports your dog’s long-term health—and aligns with the way you already shop for yourself.
Why Ingredient Integrity Matters
What your dog eats every day shapes their energy, skin health, digestion, and overall wellness. That’s why more pet parents are turning away from synthetic additives and low-quality by-products. Instead, they’re looking for food that’s made with integrity—clean proteins, recognizable vegetables, and nothing extra.
Organic natural dog food helps meet those expectations by eliminating common triggers like artificial additives, corn, soy, and fillers. And when that food is certified organic, every ingredient is held to a higher standard.
At Tender & True, we believe ingredient integrity isn’t optional—it’s foundational. That’s why every one of our organic dog food recipes is carefully crafted with simple, honest ingredients and clear sourcing.
Not All Dog Food Is Created Equal
Walk through any pet aisle and you’ll see hundreds of labels claiming to be natural, premium, or better. But terms like “natural” can be loosely defined unless backed by regulations. That’s where certified organic makes a real difference.
To carry the USDA Organic seal, a dog food must be made with ingredients that are:
- Grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
- Free from antibiotics, growth hormones, and GMOs
- Raised with humane animal welfare practices
- Traceable from organic farms and fisheries
- Processed without artificial preservatives or irradiation
When these organic ingredients are combined with a truly natural formulation—meaning no synthetic colors, flavors, or artificial preservatives—you get food that reflects a cleaner, more responsible approach to nutrition.
Why Choose Organic + Natural?
Feeding organic natural dog food offers meaningful benefits for both dogs and their humans. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Fewer synthetic additives: Supports better digestion and fewer sensitivities
- No mystery ingredients: Transparency in sourcing and formulation
- Cleaner proteins: Sourced from responsibly raised animals with no antibiotics or hormones
- Sustainably grown ingredients: Supporting soil health, biodiversity, and ethical farming
- Peace of mind: Every bite meets verified standards for quality and safety
Natural and organic feeding isn’t a trend—it’s a growing movement toward food that does more and includes less.
What’s Inside: Ingredient Spotlight
Our recipes start with premium animal proteins like organic chicken, turkey, or sustainable whitefish—always the first ingredient. These proteins are paired with plant-based ingredients like chickpeas, carrots, sweet potatoes, and blueberries for added fiber and nutrients.
You won’t find corn, wheat, soy, or animal by-products in our formulas. That’s because Tender & True organic dog food is developed with clean-label principles in mind: simple, transparent, and responsibly sourced.
Every bag of our food is also free from artificial preservatives and flavor enhancers, so your dog gets only what they need—and nothing they don’t.
Dry Food That Delivers on Quality
Our Organic Dry Dog Food Collection features both grain-free and ancient grain options, tailored for adult dogs and puppies. Each formula meets AAFCO standards for complete and balanced nutrition and is backed by veterinarian expertise.
With clearly labeled ingredients, responsibly sourced proteins, and organic certification, our dry food line makes it easy to feed with confidence. Whether you’re looking for a limited-ingredient diet or an everyday meal with clean ingredients, our organic dry foods offer a high-quality option you can trust.
Is Organic Natural Dog Food Right for Every Dog?
The short answer: yes. Dogs of all breeds, sizes, and life stages benefit from clean, high-quality food. But organic natural dog food may be especially helpful for:
- Dogs with food sensitivities or allergy-prone digestive systems
- Puppies and seniors who need more support for immune health and metabolism
- Dogs with dull coats, itchy skin, or irregular digestion
- Pet parents who want to avoid common allergens like corn or soy
As always, transitioning to a new food should be done gradually. We recommend introducing a new formula over 7–10 days, increasing the portion slowly while decreasing your dog’s current food.
Built on Standards That Matter
Every Tender & True product reflects our commitment to food made with purpose. That’s why all our organic and natural dog foods are:
- USDA Organic Certified
- G.A.P. Animal Welfare Certified (Step 3 or above)
- MSC Certified for Sustainable Seafood (where applicable)
- Free from artificial colors, preservatives, and fillers
- Formulated to meet AAFCO nutritional guidelines
These aren’t empty labels—they’re independent certifications that verify how our food is grown, sourced, and produced. We believe you deserve that level of transparency, and your dog does too.
Feed With Intention
Choosing organic natural dog food is more than a dietary decision. It’s a commitment to feeding with care—care for your pet, the planet, and the food system you support.
At Tender & True, we don’t just make dog food. We build trust through certified sourcing, honest ingredients, and a promise to never compromise on quality. Our approach is simple: use better ingredients, follow better standards, and deliver better nutrition.
