The first ingredient in this dog food is beef. Beef is defined as “the clean flesh derived from slaughtered cattle” and includes skeletal muscle or the muscle tissues of the tongue, diaphragm, heart or esophagus.2
Beef is naturally rich in all ten essential amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.
The second ingredient is water, which adds nothing but moisture to this food. Water is a routine finding in most canned dog foods.
The next ingredients are vitamins and chelated minerals, minerals that have been chemically attached to protein. This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually found in better dog foods.

The Bottom Line
Judging by its ingredients alone, Original Pet Food Company Organic Dog Food looks like an above-average canned product.
But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still need to estimate the product’s meat content before determining a final rating.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 55%, a fat level of 21% and estimated carbohydrates of about 17%.
As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 53% and a mean fat level of 17%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 22% for the overall product line.
And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 33%.
Above-average protein. Below-average fat. And below-average carbs when compared to a typical canned dog food.
Free of any plant-based protein boosters, this looks like the profile of a wet product containing a significant amount of meat.
Bottom line?
Original Pet Food Company Organic is a meat-based canned dog food using a significant amount of beef and beef liver as its main sources of animal protein, thus earning the brand 5 stars.
However, the company does not appear to provide a customer service phone number and does not respond to our emails.3
Not recommended.
