Dog food without indgredients from china?

With very few exceptions, nearly all commercial, store-bought pet foods will have at least a handful of ingredients which come from China. This is because the vast majority of pet foods use synthetic vitamins and minerals, and China is the main manufacturer of vitamins. Unfortunately, it is incredibly difficult to determine for sure, as most pet food manufacturers are so far removed from their own products, they cannot tell you exactly where each ingredient came from. You will have better luck the less processed your food is. Canned has less synthetic ingredients than kibble, and raw has less synthetic ingredients than canned. If you would like some help finding foods that don't contain synthetic ingredients, you are welcome to reach out to me. One food I can recommend, off the top of my head, is Nature's Logic. There are no synthetic ingredients whatsoever, and they use a higher quality protein, from animal-based sources, than most other pet foods as well. While Orijen is close, Nature's logic is better.
