WDJ 2009 Approved Dry Dog Foods

[MandyPug]

I much prefer Animal Wellness magazine to Whole Dog Journal. They have so many informative articles and they support raw and whole food diets more than kibble diets. Plus Dr. Marty Goldstein is one of the columnists in it and i find him very informative, open minded, and very supportive of raw and doing things naturally.
And Animal Wellness doesn't put out a list of "Approved" dog food every year, they rather help the readers learn how to make their own decision on foods.

How do you feel about "Bark" magazine?

It's okay, i find it more useful than Modern Dog but less useful than Animal Wellness. It's more into the pop culture sort of stuff rather than the informative articles than Animal Wellness is, but it does have it's strong points.
Modern Dog and Dogs in Canada however are garbage to me pretty much, they push manufactured kibbles too much and are more fashion magazines rather than informative magazines.
Working in the store i do, i'm always looking for good articles on health and food rather than articles about if a cashmere sweater and rhinestone collar looks better on Jessica Alba's dog or better on Paula Abdul's dog.

I would say Jessica Alba.

I subscribe to Animal Wellness, Bark, Dog Fancy, and Modern Dog. I enjoy all of them as I find them all entertaining as well as informative.

My subscriptions to the WDJ and Just Labs Magazine have expired and I did not renew. I will not be renewing my subscriptions to Dog Fancy and Modern Dog when those expire.

Whole Dog Journal ... it's a magazine.


OOPs I'm sorry ... i misread your post I don't read it so I can't say.

I don't read it either but from what I can tell other people say about it and their list of approved foods, they are big proponents of omnivore feeding of our carnivore dogs and they're elitist and scare pet food companies into using their "approved" ingredients rather than less aesthetically pleasing, species appropriate ingredients.

lol I know what it is I just didn't know it was "bad". I work with a lot of people who read it and they all swear by it. So what are they and I missing?
