Zignature dog food is not specifically labeled as “human grade.” In general, when dog food is called human grade, it means it is made using ingredients and processes that are fit for human consumption. However, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not clearly define the term human grade, so there is no way of knowing for sure if a particular brand of dog food is truly human grade. Also, it’s worth remembering that not all human foods are safe or healthy for your dog (here are some human foods that are safe for your dog).
Coming back to Zignature, while it is not labeled as human-grade, the manufacturer does say it is a limited-ingredient formula that uses high-quality and wholesome ingredients.
Yes, as mentioned above, Zignature dog food is a limited ingredient formula that is grain-free. It’s a great choice for dogs with gluten sensitivity or food allergies to corn, soy, or potatoes.

Also, it is grain-free and uses non-traditional animal proteins. Plus, it has ingredients that are known to lower inflammation and boost the immune system.
Start by introducing a small amount of Zignature into your dog’s diet and reducing the previous brand of dog food by the same amount. Watch for any changes in your dog’s health during the period of transition and contact your veterinarian if your dog develops any symptoms.
