*Shrug* We could just say 'this is a man with no degree in anything animal related, no experience in canine or feline nutrition, and his rankings are simply an opinion like anyone else'. The fact that on nearly every page of this thread there has been mocking and jokes about him being a dentist can only be said so many times before it's not funny anymore/gets old. JMO. Not trying to be snarky or anything. It can be said once and be done with it. Fwiw, I completely agree with you and like to let folks know who may not that this guys website should have NO bearing on their decisions regarding their pups food.

I am VERY happy with the diets I am feeding right now. My Armani and Pippi have always had weight issues. They are litter mates and I am convinced it is just a genetic thing...maybe metabolism? I don't know. Anyway...... I found myself having to put them on a diet every year and they hated it. When they would lose weight, I would put them back on regular food and they would gain the weight back. After a few years of this, I did a consult with Dr. Lenox, the vet nutritionist here in my area. She is the same one who had done Cookie's diet and the food that I fed Cookie was so much more in volume than dog food and she loved it....SO I decided to try it for Armani and Pippi. Meal time was always stressful previously...Pippi was stalking other dog bowls for other food and was miserable...I was feeding her less than 1/4 cup of food twice/day...just nothing. Then, I would fill the bowl with green beans and she started hating them. Anyway..........they went on home cooking in January and they have lost the weight and are maintaining now. They are both happy because they have more food than they did and they are not fat!! Makes me happy! As to your question, perhaps someone will have that answer.

And the differences in ANY of the foods I've fed have all been minimal. I'm just a weirdo who pays attention to small things that normal people wouldn't. I am sure he would be perfectly fine eating Purina all of his life. But I guess I want more than fine. With him being a part-time sports dog and just very active in general, I prefer to keep him in the best shape possible and being fueled by what I feel is the best diet possible for him. I know through the years I've been through so many different opinions and foods. I guess you could call it an odd hobby. These forums used to make me crazy. All the different fads, what one person would start feeding, lol. Honestly 90% of the foods I fed in the early days I wouldn't touch now. I think I've finally found 'the' food with Farmina. Homecooking isn't out of the question still. It's just a matter of me biting the bullet.

| There is also Rayne Clinical Nutrition. They are willing to make Winston's diet for me in peel and serve shelf-stable packets. I don't know the cost, it may be higher than I can do here but there is a value in having some shelf stable stuff around. Dr Remillard told me about the company and said if I send in the diet she made for Winston they can make it. He is eating the $25 diet "beef and peas" which is a high protein and moderate fat diet. He does awesome on it. He lost weight and he stopped biting his feet.

Cookie also eats a lot of food and does not gain weight, not to mention the fact that it has kept her IBD and lymphangectasia controlled. George's weight is also perfect. I don't have to do a thing but follow the recipes. No thinking at all...I love it and wish I could do it for all of them!

| All jokes aside regarding Dr. Delaney. You should just shoot him an email and ask him about the product. I'm sure he would be willing to answer your questions.
