Disclaimer and Disclosure

The Dog Food Advisor is a personal blog written and edited by me. It’s intended to provide you with the information you need to make better decisions about feeding your dog.

Dr. Mike Sagman

The views and opinions expressed in the articles posted here are presented in good faith and are strictly my own.

Accordingly, I promise to make every effort to be fair, accurate and truthful.

However, comments posted at the end of each article represent the advice, reports and opinions of my readers. So, I cannot ensure the accuracy of or be held responsible for their content.

As a human being, my thoughts and opinions change from time to time. I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind.

It is my goal to base all information presented here on current science. Yet because scientific concepts can change or be unknowingly defective I apologize for any errors I unwittingly publish.

The articles and reviews presented on this website are designed to help you make a more informed decision when buying dog food.

However, my rating system is not intended to suggest feeding a particular product will result in a specific health benefit for your pet.

Please be advised that I am not a veterinarian. For this reason, this website was never meant to be used as a substitute for sound professional advice.

Because the health of your dog can be directly affected by what you read here, you should always consult with a licensed veterinary professional before taking any specific action.

A Note to Manufacturers

It’s never been my intention to willfully misrepresent any product. Or to perpetuate the many myths surrounding the topic of dog food that pervade the Internet.

If you discover a material error in any of my reviews, please contact me and provide verifiable proof of my oversight. And if I’m in agreement with your point, I will gladly correct that error.

Financial Disclosure

We do not accept money or gifts from pet food manufacturers in exchange for special consideration in the preparation of our reviews or ratings.

However, we do receive payment from retail stores in exchange for listings in our “Where to Buy” directory.

Although we typically exclude manufacturers from these listings, we reserve the right to make exceptions for retailers who do not derive a major part of their income from the sale of their own pet foods.

We also receive a fee from PetFlow.com for each purchase made as the direct result of a referral from our website. This fee is a fixed dollar amount and has nothing whatsoever to do with the size of an order or the brand selected for purchase.

In every case, please be assured it is our intention to always remain objective, impartial and unbiased.

For Your Protection

Any claim, statistics, or other representation about a product or service recommended on this website should be verified with the manufacturer or other sources before you make any purchase.

This blog contains links to other websites. Remember, all external links contain content which cannot be endorsed or controlled by the editor of this site.

Reporting Errors and Making Comments

It is impossible for me to keep each and every article and review updated on a daily basis. For this reason I cannot guarantee the accuracy of all the information you read everywhere on this website.

I welcome your feedback and assistance in updating the information I present. And I promise to correct any errors as I discover them or as they are brought to my attention.

This website is designed to be a blog and an open forum. So, feel free to challenge me or disagree with me in the Comments section at the end of each post.

However, I reserve the right to delete any comment that is abusive, rude, mean-spirited, profane or completely unrelated to the topic itself.

Thanks for visiting.
