How Does Your Dog's Food Rate?

There seem to be rating and review services for everything. Whether you're looking for a good Italian restaurant in your neighborhood, a good book to read or the best car rental deal -- it's easy to find help.

But here is a service you may not be aware of -- Dog Food Review. This site says:

We don't receive any compensation for our dog food reviews from any dog food company. We are here to give you information to make the best possible choice when determining a brand of dog food. . . The reviews are based on my opinion of information gained from manufacturers websites. When conducting a dog food review there are numerous things that we take into consideration.

Visit the site for reviews of a number of dog foods including, for example Cesar Millan and Iams (neither highly rated). To learn their best recommendations, read: Top 3 Rated Dog Food Brands. Readers can submit their own 1 to 10 star rating of each food. There is a good overview of these ratings that lists each food, the number of reviewers and the average star rating. There are also forums where visitors can share dog food recipes, and discuss related issues of interest.

The importance of choosing high quality food for your pet became more widely recognized in recent years with the dog food recalls. Consumers began taking a closer look at the content labels and the quality control standards of the food companies. Rating services and the input of other dog owners may be one more way for you to make more informed choices. If you know other resources of this type, please share them here.
