dog food ratings

*Dog Food Ratings*- where does your favorite rank?

Here are dog food ratings for many of the most popular dog foods on the market today.
These ratings were reached using Sarah Iricks' method of grading dog food, which uses a very detailed points system to determine the overall value/quality of an individual dog food.In the uncertain world of dog food today, these kind of dog food ratings are hugely valuable.
The consistency of the dog food analysis method makes it easy to apply to any dog food of your choice, and gives all puppy and dog owners a way to evaluate the diet they're already feeding, or plan to use.

You can see the actual dog food rating system used here, on our Dog Food Comparisons page, where we show you EXACTLY how to analyze any dog food using the list of ingredients.

ALSODon't feed your dog in combined food/water combo bowls. Dog food is likely to contaminate the water side of the combo. Use separate dishes and do NOT feed your dog in a plastic bowl. Plastic can cause your dog to have allergies, can contain bacteria as well as hold odors we cannot smell, but a finicky dog will, and he may refuse to eat. Use the shinny metal stainless steel or ceramic bowls… your dog will appreciate it.Another bit of advice—do not teach your dog to “beg” at the table. All this does is encourage him/her to beg for more scraps from the table. Pretty soon your dog will need a diet. Dogs should never eat from the human table so don’t get it started with “begging.”When your dog is finished eating, do as we do… wait an hour before exercising him. Yes, wait an hour or so before going for that long walk. If you plan to RUN your dog, you might wait longer than an hour. This advice has turned up in more than one place. Dogs need a chance to digest just as we do. There are a number of websites offering quality dog food with no preservatives, holistic ingredients or ingredients that have never been exposed to harmful chemicals. They may cost more, but the extra cost is nothing compared to what you will be paying a vet when your dog shows up with cancer, pancreatic disorder, hypothyroidism or any number of other problems!
