MSG - is there any food that doesn't have this in it?

On the bags I've looked at, it is labelled as "Natural Flavours" which is another name for MSG.

If anyone knows what dog foods do not have MSG, I'd sure like to hear what they are!

I don't think Orijen has it but haven't checked the ingredient list lately.

Well, wouldn't you know, neither Bobby nor Amber can handle Orijen! The protein level is too high for both of them.

Having said that, I'll have another look at it just in case.. Thanks!

I double checked the ingredients and natural flavours is not listed in Orijen. It is also not listed in either of Champion Pet Foods Acana lines (regular or grain free) and both have lower protein levels .....

Thank you, Rainbow! I'll have a look at them as soon as I can! Amber has just come through a terrible allergic reaction and MSG is a possible cause so I'm on the hunt for an MSG-free food. I'm cooking for her now and will continue until I can find a suitable food..

I don't know if "natural flavours" always includes MSG. Why don't you email the companies whose food you're interested in and ask them?

The food that I feed my dog doesn't have any MSG/natural flavors in it. I feed my dog Blue Buffalo weight control.

I know that nutrie balance doesn't have any MSG in it or any other preservatives,nutrie-balance.com. my dogs love it only problem is they go through it too fast since i let them eat as much as they want cause they are very active.

This product is only available in 3 stores in quebec. I looked at the breakdown and it looks like a great food.
