I take what he says with a grain of salt because like Taylor said, he doesn't really take into account where a food is manufactured, how many recalls, how the recalls were handled, etc... some of the "5 star foods", I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. It does concern me that a lot of people will have dogs doing well on a 3 star food, then see his website, and think OH NO... and quickly change to a 5 star food where maybe the dog isn't doing as well. So yeah THAT part concerns me.

But I think it CAN be a good resource for some things. And the fact alone that he's a dentist isn't enough reason for me NOT to trust him. In fact, my dentist IS a dog breeder and I would trust his opinions on dogs in general more than a lot of folks.
OK....so I poke at the guy because he's a dentist and I think people are giving him way too much credit for his opinions regarding dog food. All of the articles on his website are of course written by him regarding his opinions. Furthermore, some of his sources are questionable as to where and how his opinions are formed. There are so many ads on his site for online dog foods site to purchase food and because I was on his site today now they are showing up on my Facebook. I do not like that at all.
