Rating of Dry Dog foods |

I think a better way to choose dog food is to just close your eyes and pick one off the shelf. I'm just kidding :). But I don't like DFA as a source. |
FYI: On May 15, the FDA announced that OC Raw Dog of Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, is recalling its OC Raw Turkey and Produce Raw Frozen Canine formula because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. To learn which products are affected, please visit the following link: OC Raw Dog Food Recall of 2015 |

I think the site can be a very helpful as part as an overall education in learning about dog foods. Some people don't believe we should learn about the ingredients, we should just trust the companies to do what's best for our dogs, since they hire vet nutritionists. 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 |

Yikes!! haha...Ok, first of all I do read up a lot on dog foods and what is best for the babies. I see my post has sparked a fuse which wasn't my intention. I'm not a member of that site, but what I got from it today was a list of all the dog foods, which first of was HUGE...then I had a starting point. I did find out that the guy who started it is a dentist and not a vet...which is fine. I'm a Realtor. He began studying this as a layman because he lost a pet to a poisonous bag of Purina from China and was devastated. I would see myself doing that. In fact, I'm so paranoid about whats in dog food because I truly believe that the cancer I have lost 2 dogs and currently one is suffering from it, is because of the crap that they ingest or have injected. I know there are many ways to gather information and assimilate it. I acutally learn quite a bit from people I disagree with because I do try to understand what it is they are saying, and I am open to changing my mind if I am wrong or misinformed:) So, I hope I didnt start anything:confused: because I just thought it was interesting. Plus there are a lot of young people with pets that may not even be aware of how important the right nutrition is for their little babies. So maybe sites like that can help them to see just how many choices there are and not all will be good ones. I'm old haha....and with age and time, you simply have to learn things to survive and grow. |

I'm not saying you should take every word as gospel, I actually like the Dog Project website better for teaching, but it's informative and useful and shouldn't be discounted just because the author is a dentist. |
