The DogFoodAdvisor site doesn't even bother me much that he's a dentist. I mean, yeah, it's a good point. But the "he's a dentist" alone isn't enough to scare me off BUT if he were a human dentist AND also had experience (actual hands on, real life experience) with dog nutrition or some kind of certification or *something*, I'd feel better, but alas, he doesn't. His site also does not weigh in on issues like where a food is produced, recalls, etc. Some foods are given top ratings that have had tons of quality control issues.
So I take what he says with a grain of salt. The site is a decent place to find lists of all the dog foods, if you're looking. And also read others comments about how well their dog is doing. But other than that? Eh, I don't base what I feed off of some internet rating.
FWIW, I don't think Blue Buffalo is all that great. It's mass produced in, like, 5 different plants. Who knows who over-sees what. It's had some issues in the past. Hear of constant GI issues from dogs eating it.
