Hi Jess,
Although there are many ways to rate a dog food, we’ve settled on using the only reliable information we feel we can consistently trust.
We read and interpret government-regulated pet food labels. Nothing more. And we do this in two simple
1. We study the ingredients list
2. We evaluate the meat content
And we tend to ignore virtually everything else.
As reviewers, we don’t test dog food. We don’t taste it. And we rarely trust marketing hype. Manufacturer’s claims. The fancy artwork on the package. Or legal matters.
However, in our members-only Editor’s Choice section, we do go beyond the label for a select group of dog foods we feel are among some of the very best brands available to the North American market.
You can learn more about how e rate dog food by visiting the following two pages on our website:
/choosing-dog-food/dog-food-reviews-problems/
/frequently-asked-questions/rate-dog-food/
Hope this helps.
