Checked
Altie checked 128 dog foods. 29 have no dairy in any form, not even whey. They are below, by brand from A to Z.
Where does dairy hide on a label?
Dairy is not always called milk. It can be whey, cheese or yogurt. Whey is the watery part of milk left after cheese is made.
These are the dairy words Altie finds on real labels:
- milk
- dried cultured whey

Why are some foods not on this list?
Altie left out 98 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 "growth factor concentrate". They might have dairy 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.
