Natures Logic Dog Food: Real Customer Reviews & Ratings

Okay, so let me tell you about my journey with Nature's Logic dog food. It wasn't something I just picked up off the shelf randomly. My dog, Max, bless his heart, started having some weird skin issues, nothing major, but enough for me to start looking closer at what I was feeding him. The vet suggested maybe trying a different protein or a food with fewer synthetic ingredients.

Digging Around

So, I hit the internet, like you do. Spent hours reading labels online, comparing ingredients. It's crazy what they put in some dog foods, right? I kept seeing Nature's Logic pop up. What caught my eye was their whole "no synthetic vitamins or minerals" thing. They claimed everything came from whole foods. Sounded good, maybe a bit too good, but I was intrigued.

I looked at a few different formulas they offered. Seemed like they had a decent variety – chicken, beef, fish, all that standard stuff, but also some like rabbit and sardine. I decided to start with the chicken formula, figured it was a safe bet.

Making the Switch

Got the first bag. It wasn't the cheapest, I'll tell you that, but if it helped Max, I was willing to give it a shot. We started the transition slowly, mixing a little bit of the Nature's Logic with his old food. You know the drill: 25% new for a few days, then 50%, then 75%, until we were fully on the new stuff. Didn't want any upset stomachs.

Honestly, Max didn't seem to mind the switch. He ate it right up from day one, which was a good sign. No immediate digestive issues, his poops stayed pretty solid, maybe even a bit better than before. That was a relief.

What I Noticed

Alright, so what happened after we fully switched? Here’s what I jotted down over time:

• Energy Levels: Seemed about the same, maybe slightly more consistent throughout the day. He's always been a pretty active guy, so no huge change there.
• Coat and Skin: This was the big one I was watching. After about a month, maybe six weeks, I really did feel like his coat was softer. And the little flaky patches? They seemed to be clearing up. It wasn't overnight, but it was noticeable improvement.
• Appetite: He remained enthusiastic about meal times. Never turned his nose up at it.
• Stools: Stayed consistent, small, and firm. Less volume than some other foods we'd tried in the past, which I read is because more of the food is actually being digested and used by the body. Makes sense.

Longer Term Thoughts

We've been using Nature's Logic for, gosh, probably over a year now. We actually switched to the Sardine formula after a while, just for variety and because I read fish oils are great for skin, and he loves it just as much. The skin issues haven't completely vanished – he still gets a bit itchy sometimes, especially seasonally – but it's way, way better than it was before we switched.

The downside? It’s definitely pricier than many brands. And sometimes the specific formula I want isn't always in stock at my local place, so I have to plan ahead or order it. Also, because it relies on whole foods for nutrients, some people worry about consistency batch-to-batch, but I haven't personally noticed any problems.

So, My Take?

Look, every dog is different. What worked wonders for Max might not work for your dog. But based on my experience, I've been pretty happy with Nature's Logic. I like the ingredient philosophy, and more importantly, Max seems to be doing well on it. His skin improved, his digestion is good, and he enjoys eating it. For me, seeing him healthier made the extra cost and occasional hassle of finding it worthwhile. If you're looking for a food with no synthetic stuff and whole-food ingredients, it might be worth investigating for your own furry friend. Just remember to transition slowly!
