I think the site has much improved from it's earlier beginnings when ingredients weren't always kept up to date, but just because the author is a dentist, instead of a vet nutritionist, it doesn't mean the information is poor. He's not designing a diet, he's just telling you what's in those foods and what nutrition it provides. Here's another site that has helpful information, The Dog Food Project - Myths about Dog Nutrition. I'm glad you are learning about nutrition!
By the way, you can also learn about dogfood recalls there. Dog Food Recalls | Dog Food Advisor | My biggest issue is the rating of the food and that there are many people who think it is gospel. You can't just rate a food by its ingredients there is so much more. There are people who say might see a diamond food with 5 stars even though they have had some serious issues. There are ingredients that may look great to us and be great for us as humans but not so good for our dogs and may effect them differently. Its important to remember dogs and humans systems are different.
