Pork in Dog Food: Which Recipes List It
Share
Pork shows up across the Dog Food Library, a compiled set of manufacturer-published details for 958 dog foods sold in the United States. This page collects the pork facts as the manufacturers themselves state them: how many recipes list it, where it typically sits in the ingredient order, and which specific products carry it, with links to check any food's full spec sheet directly.
What Pork Is on a Label
Pork is meat from a pig. Labels list it as fresh pork, pork meal, or as pork liver, depending on which cut and processing method the manufacturer uses.
How Many of the 958 Foods List Pork
66 of the 958 foods in the Dog Food Library list pork in their ingredient panel, as compiled from each manufacturer's own product page. Of those 66 foods, 46 list pork among the first five ingredients on the label, and the remaining 20 list it later in the panel. Ingredient order on these labels follows pre-cooking weight, so a fresh or wet ingredient can rank higher than a dried one that contributes more to the finished recipe.

Why Some Makers Include Pork
Open Farm states on its product pages: "Pork is a great source of protein and healthy fats." That statement comes from the manufacturer, not from Sniff and Shift, and applies to the Open Farm recipes that use pork rather than to every food on this list.
How to Check a Specific Food
To look up whether a particular food lists pork, and where, open its entry on the Dog Food Library by brand or put it side by side with another food using the dog food comparison tool. Both pages pull from the same manufacturer-sourced data used to build this page.
For between-meal variety that keeps the main recipe unchanged, browse single ingredient freeze dried dog treats from Sniff and Shift.
