Dog foods with no chicken (including hidden chicken fat)
Checked
Altie checked 128 dog foods. 11 have no chicken in any form, not even chicken fat. They are below, by brand from A to Z.
Where does chicken hide on a label?
Chicken is not always called chicken. It can be in the fat, the broth, the liver or the flavor. A food with beef on the front can still have chicken fat inside.
These are the chicken words Altie finds on real labels:
- chicken fat
- chicken
- chicken by-product meal
- chicken meal
- chicken liver
- deboned chicken
- chicken heart
- natural chicken flavor
- chilled chicken flavor
- dehydrated chicken

Why are some foods not on this list?
Altie left out 20 more foods because it can't be sure. Their labels use a word that does not say which animal or plant it came from, like "natural flavor" or "animal fat". They might have chicken in them. They might not. Altie would rather leave a food out than call it safe when it does not know.
If your dog has a food allergy, talk to your vet before you change foods. Recipes change, so always read the bag.
