Nature’s Logic Dog Food Review (Canned)

Nature’s Logic canned product range consists of nine recipes with ratings varying from 3 to 5 stars. The average rating of the whole range is 4 stars.

Each recipe features multiple cuts of muscle and organ meat among its top five ingredients, and incorporates natural produce like dried tomatoes, carrots, pumpkin, and blueberries, which provide natural sources of vitamins and minerals

The table below shows each recipe in this range, including our rating and the AAFCO nutrient profile: Growth (puppy), Maintenance (adult), All Life Stages, Supplemental or Unspecified.

Please note: Nature’s Logic doesn’t use nutritional guidelines provided by AAFCO to meet the AAFCO profile. Rather they use the feeding protocol method, where the nutritional guidelines can be disregarded (except for growth of large breed dogs) and a feeding trial is undertaken to establish the nutritional adequacy.

Recipe and Label Analysis

Nature’s Logic Canine Venison Feast was selected to represent the other products in the line for detailed recipe and nutrient analysis.

Ingredients Analysis

The first ingredient in this dog food is venison. Venison is considered “the clean flesh derived from slaughtered” venison and associated with skeletal muscle or the muscle tissues of the tongue, diaphragm, heart or esophagus.¹

Venison is naturally rich in all 10 essential amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.

The second ingredient is venison broth. Broths are of only modest nutritional value. Yet because they add both flavor and moisture to a dog food, they are a common component in many canned products.

The third ingredient is venison liver, an organ meat sourced from a named animal and thus considered a beneficial component.

The next ingredient is dried egg product, a dehydrated form of shell-free eggs. Quality can vary significantly. Lower-grade egg product can even come from commercial hatcheries – from eggs that have failed to hatch.

In any case, eggs are easy to digest and have an exceptionally high biological value.

The fifth item is pork plasma. Plasma is what remains of blood after the blood cells themselves have been removed. Plasma can be considered a nutritious addition.

The sixth ingredient is montmorillonite clay, a naturally occurring compound rich in many trace minerals. Montmorillonite has been approved for use in USDA Organic Certified products.

Reported benefits include the binding of certain mold-based toxins and even controlling diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The seventh ingredient is herring oil, which is naturally rich in the prized EPA and DHA type of omega-3 fatty acids. These two high quality fats boast the highest bio-availability to dogs and humans.

Depending on its level of freshness and purity, herring oil should be considered a commendable addition.

From here, the list goes on to include a number of other items.

But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this Nature’s Logic product.

With three notable exceptions…

First, although alfalfa meal is high in plant protein (about 18%) and fiber (25%), this hay-family item is more commonly associated with horse feeds.

In addition, chicory root is rich in inulin, a starch-like compound made up of repeating units of carbohydrates and found in certain roots and tubers.

Not only is inulin a natural source of soluble dietary fiber, it’s also a prebiotic used to promote the growth of healthy bacteria in a dog’s digestive tract.

And lastly, although we find no mention of added vitamins or minerals on the ingredients list, we’re reassured to find a detailed list of naturally present nutrients on the company’s website.

Nutrient Analysis

Based on its ingredients alone, Nature’s Logic Canine Venison Feast canned dog food looks like an above-average wet product.

The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 62.1%, a fat level of 21.1% and estimated carbohydrates of about 7.5%.

As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 50% and a mean fat level of 30.3%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 6.4% for the overall product line.

And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 65%.

Which means this Nature’s Logic product line contains…

Near-average protein. Above-average fat. And below-average carbs when compared to other wet dog foods.

Even when you consider the protein-boosting effect of the brewers yeast and alfalfa meal, this recipe looks like the profile of a wet product containing a notable amount of meat.

Our Rating of Nature's Logic Canned Dog Food

Nature’s Logic is a grain-free canned dog food using a notable amount of named meats as its primary source of animal protein, thus receiving 4 stars.

It is worth noting that the lower ratings within this range are due to the high fat-to-protein ratio. With lower fat content, all of these recipes would have been 5 stars. We highly recommend these recipes for working or highly active dogs. If you give this particular formula to pets and less active dogs, we recommend you monitor their weight regularly to ensure they remain their ideal size.

Nature’s Logic uses sustainable business practices and is transparent about where its dog food is produced. All recipes come from USDA- and FDA‑certified facilities, use high‑quality ingredients, and avoid GMOs.
