Hey,
Happy Wednesday! We get asked a lot of questions by our Dog Food Advisor family and followers. Sometimes people email us, or add a comment to a page on the site, or raise a query on our social media channels, such as our Facebook Community Group. One of the more frequent topics is how we rate dog food recipes. This is understandable. There are thousands of dog food recipes out there, and an ever-growing list of types — the days of choosing between only kibble and canned are long gone. So how do we compare them? Well, the answer is: I taste every single recipe personally.
This, I hope you realize, is not true. If I were the editor of Sausage Advisor or Cake Advisor it would be true, but I haven’t the time, inclination or digestive system to eat all the dog foods. Indeed, no organization or company has the time or resources to individually test every dog food, whether through taste-testing or lab analysis. So if you see a site that claims it does, it’s telling “porkies”, as they say where I come from*. So this is why we have a tried and tested system for rating dog foods based on the only information equally available for all foods, which is legally required to be reliable, and therefore fair: what’s on the label. You can read all about it on this page:
I hope it answers all questions you might have. Of course, if it
doesn’t, you can get in touch with us through those methods I mentioned above. We always love to hear from you.
Until next time, Andrew Editor

Can you mix raw food and kibble?
|
You can’t get two types of dog food more different than raw dog food and kibble. One isn’t cooked at all, while the other is the most cooked form of dog food. There’s also a price difference, with raw food generally costing more than kibble. Quality is the biggest selling point of the former, but affordability is a pull for the latter. But can you find a balance by mixing raw and kibble? According to Amy Zalneraitis, the CBO at 5-star-rated We Feed Raw, you can. Click the link below to read why.
