Dog food rating/review websites?
Jaedon Asked:
is there any website where you can rate and review different dog food brands? I already know about dogfoodanalysis.com and dogfoodproject.com. Any other websites?

If you go to this url http://www.the-puppy-dog-place.com/dog-f…
you'll find a rating system that you can apply to absolutely any dog food on the market.
It rates the food by the quality and combination of ingredients and the absence of fillers, chemicals, junk etc.
At this url you'll also find the ratings (already calculated for you) for many different dog foods http://www.the-puppy-dog-place.com/dog-f…

One thing to be aware of, too, about AAFCO ratings is that if a food is rated to be "complete and balanced", it just means that some percentage of dogs in the trial (it's something like 75%) did not get ill or lose excessive wait during a short feeding trial that lasts something like two months. It's not really a very comprehensive way to test a food because you have no way of knowing what kind of deficiencies might be in the food that would only show up over a long term. And of course, many of the pet food companies will recommend to never switch foods, so a food with a deficiency will become more pronounced over time when the dog eats the same thing day in a day out.
That said, you're already way ahead of the curve by even knowing what AAFCO is, so good for you for looking for a better quality food for your dog.
I don't honestly know which foods AAFCO rates as A or B, but I'd pay more attention to the label than the AAFCO rating.. Look for foods where:
1) meat is the first ingredient (and not some kind of by-product, either). Ingredients are listed in order of quantity, most to least.
2) all ingredients are specifically named, such as "chicken meal" instead of "poultry meal" or "animal digest", aka "we don't know what we're putting in there either"
3) they don't list ingredients as fragments, like "ground rice, brewers rice, rice flour" — this is them being sneaky because if they didn't break them out as separate bits, rice probably would have ended up as the first ingredient in the list
4) Avoid foods with corn — corn is often used in cheap-o foods as an inexpensive, but inappropriate, protein source and filler
Good for you for continuing to learn more about what's going into your dog. It's funny that after I started reading labels on dog food, I started reading labels on the stuff I eat too and I've never eaten the same way again. Both I and my dogs are the healthier for it!
Taste of the Wild High Prairie formula 6 stars plus fish oil capsule. For a treat once in a while I will add Blue Wilderness or some cottage cheese.
Holistic Select Dog Food (Canned) Review and Rating …
Not very well. Try a holistic dog food, which is grain-free (absolutely unnecessary processed grain in supermarket dog foods that lead to heart, weight, and skin problems), corn, soy, by-product, and meal-free food, like Wellness, Innova, Evo, Blue Buffalo, and Taste of the Wild.
