Making Sense
Of Dog Food
We read the guaranteed analysis, convert it to dry matter, estimate the starch, count the named proteins and check the brand's recall history. Every figure comes off the bag itself, not from an opinion.
Food Is More
Than Just Energy.
Every dog is different. Age, breed and condition change what the numbers should look like, so the same bag can be a good call for one dog and a poor one for the next. We publish the figures and the reasoning behind them, and leave the choice with you.

Worth Reading
The reviews say what is in the bag. These say what to do about it: how much to feed, which human foods are safe to share, and what a run of loose stools is usually telling you. Written against the same label data as everything else on the site.
