Dog Food Analysis

[Montana]

This is one of my favorite sites to reference to when someone asks about about a specific brand of food. It does a break down of ingredients and gives a review on all the commercial dog foods on the market.

Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble

Had an argument with a someone who claimed she was a "vet nurse" who said I was poisoning my dog with what I am feeding, and was trying to push Hills Z/D on me. Told her she shouldn't be promoting foods which contain sawdust for fillers, she argued they most certainly don't have sawdust in them, which I then referenced to this site. Sure enough in the ingredients, powdered cellulose is filler - better known as sawdust.

Only because they came from a vet school some vets believe everyone else (aka we the normal people) is a moron and too dumb to even look at the ingredients on a bag or make a research on the net.

So they think we can't make a choice for our own.

What are the credentials of people on Dog Food Analysis? I've never heard of that site.

i don't know their credentials, but it seems everyone refers to that site - it has been kind of an eye opener for me when i thought I had a good dog food.

FLint River, for example - I have relatives that sell it and kept telling me it's the best dog food in the world, so I bought it without checking reviews - first of all, it's $68 for 40 pounds, quite pricey. Then, I finally looked at this site and it's rated a TWO!!!

AND, it was the dog food my dobie was on before we came here, he recently got all several ear infections and this gooey stuff on his ears, right after we started that food.

I've referred to that site often, i was originally going to switch to EVO/Orijen because of that site in fact until i learned that it would be 1/2 the price of them to feed raw and better

[Boxerdogz]

Great! I will have to check it out

[CavePaws]

I've referred to that site and this site in classes. I will probably start referring people to Natalie's PMR site as well when I speak on nutrition.

It says the reviews that are given are the editors of the site and are the opinions of volunteers with expertise in dog nutrition.

I was told about this site from a dog trainer and friend of mine. I really like how they do a break down of what consists in the ingredients and what they mean (in non scientific, understandable terms). Not ALL the products have reviews, although.

I just hate how they can cover up sawdust with a fancy word 99% of people will surely overlook. I did not know that was another name for sawdust and if I were feeding kibble, I would of just thought it is some kind of great additive.

Such a shame.

I had never seen this sight.Thanks I have printed out a few ingredient lists and think I will take them with me on my next appt. at the vets and give them to her.I would like to think it might help her to see some light that Hills is not the best.
