Our quick take: Nature’s Logic is a pricier natural brand whose complete and balanced recipes get their vitamins and minerals from whole foods instead of a synthetic vitamin premix. Its kibble is built around named meat meals and millet, with no corn, soy, potatoes or peas, and its canned food is mostly meat and organs. Since 2021 it has been owned by Mid America Pet Food, and we found no recalls of Nature’s Logic products. It’s a good fit if you want short, whole-food labels and can afford it, but it has no life-stage or breed-size formulas.
Most dog foods meet their vitamin and mineral targets with an added premix of synthetic vitamins.
Nature’s Logic dog food line began with the search for a recipe for canines that could provide complete nutrition only through the use of whole foods and in 2006, the first bags were being sent out.
If you worry about all the unrecognizable ingredients in your dog’s food, but you still want to guarantee that they’ll have complete nutrition, Nature’s Logic could be the right choice. It provides natural sources of everything your dog needs to feel happy and healthy.
Is it the right choice for you? Let’s break it down and find out.
Dry dog food, or kibbles, make up the majority of pet foods in the market. Dry food offers plenty of benefits to dogs and owners alike: they’re usually more energy dense, cheaper, easier to store and offer more texture.
This duck & salmon recipe uses premium ingredients and only natural sources of vitamins and minerals to provide your dog with dense, balanced nutrition. Duck and salmon meal have more protein than regular meats, and Nature’s logic sources them from responsible, sustainable sources.
Balanced carbohydrates give your dog plenty of energy all day long without adding excess calories or cheap fillers. There are no synthetic ingredients and no artificial preservatives as well as no corn, soy, potatoes, peas and artificial colors.
It’s more expensive than the average food, but if you can swing it in your budget, we think you’ll really like it. The kibble may be a little bit large for small breed dogs, but wet the kibble or switch to the canned recipe of the same food for your little friends. Its short list of proteins also makes it easier to avoid a specific ingredient your dog reacts to.
We like it a lot: it’s good quality, and you can actually read all the ingredients. If your dog has a diagnosed food allergy, work with your vet on an elimination diet before switching, since no food is allergy-proof.
This range is also available in the following flavors: Chicken, Pork, Sardine, Turkey, Lamb, Venison, Rabbit and Beef.
For pups who are sensitive to grains, there are also grain-free alternatives of the Feast recipe in these flavors: Beef, Chicken and Duck & Salmon.
This meal delivers premium nutrition with real sardines as the first ingredient, providing a rich source of high-quality protein to support strong muscles, healthy energy levels, and overall vitality. In fact, 90% of the protein in this recipe comes from animal sources, making it an excellent choice for dogs that thrive on meat-based nutrition.
What sets this formula apart is its commitment to truly natural nutrition. All vitamins and minerals come from whole-food ingredients rather than synthetic supplements, flavors, or additives. This complete and balanced recipe is suitable for dogs of all life stages, from growing puppies to active adults and senior companions.
Naturally gluten-free and free from common fillers such as corn, wheat, soy, peas, lentils, potatoes, and seed oils, it’s a great option for dogs with food sensitivities. The recipe is also free from beef and chicken, making it ideal for pups with protein allergies. Added natural taurine supports heart health, while prebiotics and probiotics help promote healthy digestion, immune function, and overall well-being.
Wet Dog Food
Some dogs are naturally picky eaters, while some like more moisture in their food. Wet dog foods are ideal for pets like these. And not only do wet dog foods have a higher palatability than dry ones, they’re also less processed and closely resemble proteins in their natural state.
There are only a few key ingredients in this recipe, and that’s a good thing. It means the brand is focusing on ingredients that matter instead of fillers and preservatives. The entire recipe is made up of 90% animal protein. There are no grains (a plus for grain-sensitive doggies), plus it’s low on carbohydrates.
The fresh chicken provides the protein (11%) while the chicken liver and heart are healthy sources of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, iron, folate, niacin, and more. Chicken broth not only gives the meal much-needed moisture, but it also adds flavor and palatability for the recipe.
Nature’s Logic made the meal more balanced by adding in nutritious superfood veggies and fruits like apple, blueberry, broccoli, apricot and a whole lot more. To help pooches maintain strong bones, a highly-digestible eggshell calcium was also included into the mixture.
We like that the recipe skips carrageenan, by-products and synthetic vitamins.
It’s great for pups of all life stages. However, if your pet needs to lose a little bit of weight, it’s probably best not to feed him the entire can because each can contains 504 kcal.
Their canned food products has a wide range of flavors. Aside from chicken, the recipe is also available in: Turkey, Beef, Lamb, Pork, Beef Tripe, Venison, Sardine and Rabbit.
Dehydrated Dog Food
Supplements make eating time a bit more exciting for dogs. Usually, pet owners add dry toppers or broths to their pets’ usual dog food diet to add variety in the flavor and texture. Nature’s Logic’s Dehydrated Broths are crafted not only to add moisture and more palatability, but also to give additional nourishment and nutrients.
Made from all-natural beef bone, this broth will provide your pet with a tasty liquid treat. Because it’s made from real beef bone, this dehydrated broth naturally contains collagen protein, amino acids and small amounts of glucosamine, chondroitin and minerals. The amounts in a treat-sized serving are small, so don’t count on it as a joint supplement.
There’s only one ingredient in the broth, but it’s really powerful in terms of nutrition. Your pet can get 90% minimum crude protein and 1% max fiber in each serving.
It can be used as a treat, a drink, or served to hydrate your pet’s kibbles. What’s more, these are not only good for canines but felines as well so multi-pet households will benefit a lot.
Treats
Treats are a great way to teach dogs new tricks, reward good behavior, craftily sneak in medication, and help clean your dog’s teeth. Nature’s Logic takes its treats seriously, which is why the brand has a wide lineup of the products.
Beef Bones
Nature’s Logic has crafted a line dedicated to bring pups their favorite traditional treat — bones. Bones are carnivore-appropriate snacks that appeal to all life stages. The brand has brought out some tasty beef bone cuts designed to appeal to pups looking for a lip-smacking munchy treat.
Bones aren’t just made to keep your pups busy chewing, they serve a purpose too. Bones, particularly beef bones, can be excellent sources of nutrients and can help satisfy a dog’s appetite. Have a pooch that’s well-fed but constantly asking for food? A long-lasting chew can help keep him occupied, but chews still count toward his daily calories.
Chewing can help scrape away some plaque, and these bones are sized for recreational chewing. They’re designed for adult dogs of all breed sizes, and the slices make it easier for smaller dogs to get a good grip. One caution: hard, weight-bearing bones like femurs can break teeth, and small pieces can be swallowed. Always supervise, take the bone away once it gets small, and skip hard bones for aggressive chewers.
Other beef bone treats include: Shin Bone, 8” Hind Shank, and 4” Center Cut Hind Shank.
Canine Chews
Canine Chews promote good dental hygiene in dogs and provide recreational chewing. This range is made from natural, cattle-graded USDA Prime beef sources from the Midwest.
Delicious does not have to mean unhealthy. In fact, these yummy meaty treats combine nutrition and flavor in one. There is only one ingredient in this recipe and it’s beef lung, cut into bite-sized pieces to fit the mouths of small to large dogs.
Organs are extremely nutritious and are more nutrient-dense than the usual muscle meat we give them. So naturally, giving our pets bits of 100% beef lung treats will be healthy for them.
As far as nutrition info goes, these chews offer a whopping 78% crude protein, 1% crude fiber, and a nice level of moisture at 10%.
These are dehydrated meat so you can rest assured that the nutrients these contain remain intact.
Other options for the Canine Chews include Beef Trachea, Beef Lung Steak, Beef Jerky, Beef Pizzle and Beef Tendon.
Recall History
We found no recalls of Nature’s Logic products (checked October 2026). The brand has been owned since 2021 by Mid America Pet Food, whose own Victor brand had a Salmonella recall in 2023; Nature’s Logic was not part of it. You can check the latest on our pet food recalls page.
Customer Feedback
Nature’s Logic gets excellent reviews for being a natural source of nutrition for dogs. Customers appreciate that they understand each ingredient on the list and that it provides balanced vitamins and minerals without using synthetic ingredients. Although it’s more expensive, customers who buy it swear by it.
It regularly gets five stars on most of the recipes with the average rating for most at four and a half stars.
What do people like and dislike about them?
Many people are discovering that the cheap fillers and artificial ingredients in standard dog foods aren’t what they want to feed their pets. A lot of customers switch to this food because they want something natural without all the additives, but they don’t want to sacrifice complete, dense nutrition. They enjoy the choices of exotic meats and canned and frozen options.
It’s great for people who want to feed raw food but have trouble with spouses or dog sitters knowing what to do. The patties are simple, and most dogs love them. Customers also like that the recipes don’t use peas and potatoes as a substitute for grains. The FDA investigated a possible link between diets high in peas, lentils and other legumes and a heart disease called DCM. In 2022 it said it did not have enough data to prove a cause, so skipping peas and potatoes is a reasonable preference rather than a proven safeguard (more in our grain-free and DCM section).
It’s significantly more expensive than standard kibble and could take some adjusting to fit into the budget. Although we feel the cost is definitely worth it, some customers felt the pinch of the extra cost. They also mentioned that the lack of life stage-specific formulas was disappointing as well as the lack of breed size specific options.
Some also noted that their dogs didn’t like the kibble and that it’s expensive to have their dogs reject the food. You could try feeding the wet food on top of the kibble or slowly introducing kibble to see if your dog likes it. You could also try one of the smaller bags at first to see if your dog will accept the food.
The good news is that there are so many recipes and protein sources that you’ve got a great chance of finding something that your dog likes and will eat regularly.
Positive
“My Doxie Pickles loves the taste of all their kibble so I just rotate the different proteins for her. It does not have synthetic vitamins and that’s great if your dog has allergies and is so good for their all round health, especially if you can’t afford to feed them raw.” Pickles, chewy.com
Negative
“Tried for a week to mix this food in with our current food. My 2 dogs refuse to eat this product.” Floridagirl, chewy.com
Behind the Brand
In 2005, Scott Freeman set out to make a balanced dog food that got its nutrients from whole foods instead of synthetic vitamin and mineral premixes. He began experimenting with recipes and sought the expertise of veterinarians to find out if it was possible.
In 2006, the recipes had been created and tested. The first bags went out that year.
Now, the company has a line of kibble, frozen raw, and canned foods, each of which uses whole ingredients to provide balanced nutrition and a complete picture of health. In 2021, Nature’s Logic was acquired by Mid America Pet Food, the Texas company behind Victor dog food.
What types of dog food do They offer?
Nature’s logic started out with kibble, but now you can also get a line of wet foods and frozen raw foods designed to make feeding your dog quality meals as comfortable as possible. They don’t use any cheap fillers such as corn or soy and no artificial ingredients. These recipes are great for dogs with sensitive tummies that don’t react well to common cheap ingredients.
They don’t make life stage-specific or breed size specific recipes so check with your vet if you have a large breed puppy or another special issue. Small breed dogs may benefit from wet or frozen foods if they have trouble chewing the kibbles.
The dry foods use meat meal which is a concentrated form of protein. Each is labeled (i.e., chicken meal) so you know exactly what you’re getting. Wet and frozen foods use real organ meats and whole meats for quality protein sources.
Kibble:
Beef
Chicken
Duck
Salmon
Lamb
Pork
Rabbit

Canned:

Parting Words
This is a solid choice for pet owners seeking a natural, nutrient-dense diet without synthetic vitamins or additives. The brand’s commitment to whole-food ingredients is impressive, but its higher price point and the inclusion of millet as a primary carbohydrate may not appeal to all pet parents.
Overall, it’s a great option for those prioritizing clean, natural nutrition, though some dogs may benefit from a more diverse grain-free formula.
