I was rather amazed and somewhat disappointed that he stated on his site, that he bases his star rating "on information he gets off the dog food brand sites" because as a small advisory business, he does not have the.....whatever.......to do his own testing. So really, all he does is look on an ingredients list, determine what HE thinks is good or necessary in a pet's diet, and slap a star on it. And look at all the people that go along with this man!!! Some to the point that he is considered a Bible on dog nutrition! And you have people kicking scientific testing and research to the curb over what this man says.....a real problem because science proves "corn, wheat, soy, dairy, and byproducts have a place" also.....these are NOT poisonous to a dogs system, as many would have you believe. Now, if you choose not to feed a product that contains that stuff, great for you! but people should NOT be calling dog food that does contain, in the daily recommended amounts, these ingredients as junk food or crap! Just make it clear that YOU choose not to feed whatever it is you find unacceptable for your pet....not because it is junk or crap, but because it is YOUR choice! Ellie May hit the nail on the head....."It would be a massive oversimplification of canine nutrition to say kibble has no place." It certainly does have a place, and it provides healthy diet choices for millions of pets!
