For Those Researching Different Dog Foods

[OntarioSheltie]

Researching dog foods can be so confusing and frustrating!

I came upon this site today and thought that it might be helpful. It explains what to look for in dog foods, how to read labels and a number of interesting articles.

I found this section particularly helpful

Also, the Dog Food Analysis web site is extremely useful, so here is a link to it also

The first website is one of my favourites! It goes beyond just listing ingredients, but explaining the good, the bad and the ugly. It's a great resource!

And one of the reasons I switched to grain-free!

Another thing to be aware of is the actual manufacturing of the food. How are they verifying that what they say is true? ISO certification requires that they maintain certain standards. Do they have their own manufacturing plant or is it "farmed out" to a facility? Just something else to think about.
