We know how deeply you care about your dog, and most of us are especially sensitive to the kinds of food we put in our pups’ bellies. Our dogs are family, and so they should be fed with the same care we take with our two-legged family members.
After a bit of digging and contact with representatives from each of the following companies, we present to you a list of 11 high-quality dry dog foods with no recalls, ever.
Please note that this small list certainly does not contain every single brand of dog food that is recall-free. You can check here if your dog’s brand of food has ever been recalled.
1. Life’s Abundance
With natural, wholesome ingredients and the option to go grain-free if your dog has specific allergies, Life’s Abundance1 has got it all, and their small-batch cooking system ensures the best quality in each bag.
2. Zignature
Specializing in foods “based on the nutritional science of the glycemic index,” and with the goal of mimicking a raw diet without the inconvenience, Zignature2 brings your pup one step closer to nature.
3. BARK Food
