Great article!!! This is a one stop article for anyone trying to educate themselves about pet food.

WOW, what an extensive article! I wish I could find something like this months ago when I was struggling to find the right food for Diego! BTW, that picture of Cider is soooooooooooooo cute!

Great Article! Especially love the grading system.

Elk's Meat? Salmon? Wow, your dog eats better that majority of the nation's poor. I can't afford to feed my dog any of this stuff. This there a lost-cost healthy dog food?

Just realized that I accidently submitted my comment with the default rating! This is CERTAINLY a 5!!!

Wow - a million thanks for this article. I only wish my vet's office would post/share this article with all their clients.

I've been researching commercial dog food recently and I find this article to be an excellent source of information. Through this article I've learned that I've been feeding my dog a "good" food, however, I'm interested in feeding a "great" food. I'm pleased to learn that the food I am considering is rated in the top two of that category. Many thanks for taking out all the jargon and simply relating the facts.

RE: Comment #4 (Posted by D Frye) Yes Frye, it's called BARF! We have an article here about BARF as well.

I found this trying to research cat foods. I have a cat with acute renal faliure so I have gone from feeding him nutro which is free of byproducts and chemical preservatives to science diet r/d and royal canin lp both of which is full by procuts, more byproducts, and fillers. I am desperate to find a low phosphorus/low protein cat food that isn't full of junk.

This article be very imformative. I have been passing it along to all the people I know that truely care about there pets and thought they were using a good food. We have since, changed the food our dogs are on. Already, we are seeing them more active and there coats are softer.

Fabulous! Gonna go to the store right now with page 3 of the article and do some research!

I think the article is great. I use it all the time to decode dog food

Thank you for the research you put into this. I have only begun looking into dog foods now that I have a new puppy. I recently lost my dog at an age of 10 from kidney disease. I really don't know if her food contributed to creating this illness or it was a predisposition. However, I want to start my new baby off the best way possible and am shocked and horrified at some of the information I have found regarding the ingredients of many well known (and recommended) dog foods. Again, thank you.

This article has great, usable info. I recommend it to all pet owners. And I was very glad to find out that I'm feeding my dog one of the best -- Canidae. Makes me feel so much better about her nutrition.

Finally, an article that brings to light the truth about Veterinaians and pet nutrition!

This is the best information that I have ever read, Finally an honest outlook on what they are putting in our animals food!! I would like to thank you for opening my eyes which in turn has helped alot of my friends. I have all 4 of my animals on wellness and with a cat that has Allergies, after 3 months I am seeing signs of it clearing up. I have tryed everything for the last 3years nothing has helped, now I know why. Thanks so much for all of your wonderful information!!

excellent, very helpful, informitive, and my congratulations in putting it together perfect...laura presley, and am i ever glad i ran across the article by luck. thank you..elaine zundel

This article should be given to every one who purchases a dog or own one.

This is the best article written on dog kibble!!

Excellent article. Well written and very informative.

I currently use Pro Plan. I will be going shopping tomorrow. Thank you for this article

Wow you are my savior!

excellent article...fortunately my pet food store recommended chicken soup brand

This is a very interesting article and has me thinking I need to change dog food. Although, my dogs are doing good on Purina Hi Pro, probably because it is all fat and bi-products! Thanks for the information.

this is one of the best articles on the subject I have read.very informative

We are so glad that our Mommy did her research on quality dog foods. Thanks for this greyt article!

Great article and very helpful in choosing a different food for my recently adopted cocker spaniel. I went with Drs. Foster/Smith which isn't listed here - good quality food is hard to come by here and F/S food is shipped to my door.

I love and value my dobermans more than I value my own life and having just heard about a "recall" on pet food, I spent the last two hours trying to find the information that is in this documentation which took 5 minutes to read, ie. nutrition, quality, mfg. etc.. Thankyou for such expertise and professionalism; Carl

After reacting to a pet food recall, I spent two hours searching for the information I've just concluded reading in your presentation here. Answers to questions regarding nutrition, manufacturing, qualitity, etc."all" were included here in one very informative and professionaL manuscript, "with welcomed honesty and candidness" Thankyou very much: Carl, happy owner of two dobermans

I have done this with bird diets for years. I could not have put it in better terms for dogs. I have passed this link on to many people to read so people understand it better.

very informative article

This was a great article and it really helped me in choosing the right dog food for my boy. Thank you!

Very helpful article.

great article. I would love if you graded natures variety raw instinct.

Brilliant..I live in Perth,Western Australia and we don't have any where as many brands as you guy's in the states do but it's good to be able to rate the ones we do have,great work you made my search for decent pet food so much easier...cheers

Great article, however, I found as for the same price I pay the the dog food at the vet, I make my own super-energy doog food as follows: This is for a 20 lb. dog: Proteins: 1/2 cup (chicken, ground beef, fish or eggs ) cooked. Carbo: 1/2 cup (rice, potatoes, pasta, bread) - cooked. Vegies: 1/2 cup Brocoli, green peppers, carrots - cooked (no onions) Mixt it all. Addition for 12 oz: 1 tsp corn or flax seed oil Supplement you keep in a jar: give 1 tsp of this mix for 12 oz of basic diet: Mix the following: 1 cup debittered brewest yeast 1 cup wheatgerms 1/4 cup powdered kelp 2 cups powdered milk Your doog will thank you ! Also for liver desease on dogs, PLEASE check the vaccines ! They are murderous on dogs and besides, the vaccine which your dog did not need last up to 7 years in his system. So you are probably over-vaccinating your poor dog and killing him with it.

Great article. We got this list through a poodle breeder. People who think this food is really expensive need to understand how much less your dog actually eats (and poos) because there are so many less fillers. That was the biggest benefit to us!

Wow. what a great article. i just got a Doberman Pinscher, and the breader advised me on using Kirkland's brand. Was it a good choice, or is there something better out there for a Dobie?

Awesome article!! Shows that these commercial advertized foods arent always the best. My dobie deserves better than that. M vet had advised me that science diet would be good for him, but now i know next time to do a little bit more research myself. Are there any good foods out ther good for a doberman?
