ADMINISTRATION NOTE: This should help all those wanting to pick out the correct foods for their dogs! This person is very, very knowledgeable and much more fair than I when it comes to the manufactures :) I doubt if she trusts them any more than I do!~ She just handles it better than I do <G> She is much more knowledgeable than anyone whose information I have read....... about Pet Foods and she is well respected in the Pet Food Information field.

Common Fallacies of Dog Food Reviews
In the articles on Ingredients to avoid and Identifying better products, I have already explained what characteristics to look for. In this article I'd like to expand a little bit on actually analyzing dog foods for comparison.
I often see people arguing on various online forums when comparing foods, and of course great points are made, such as type of ingredients used, the extent of variety included, protein and fat percentages and so on.
What saddens me is when dog foods are reviewed and assigned some sort of rating based on a purely arbitrary and often not well researched system. It doesn’t help with making decisions based on truly important factors and often causes people to pick one food over another (which may be more suitable for their individual dog) just because it gets a "better" rating.
Reviews generally appear on three different types of websites:
• ones that sell food products and have a vested interest in steering people towards purchasing certain brands over others,
• so called "independent" review sites, often plastered full of ads, drawing in as much traffic as possible from often repeated, popular search keywords, which makes me question their true purpose - giving unbiased information, or just maximizing revenue from advertisements?
• marketing-driven sites that want to sell you print or e-books (at ridiculous prices) that promise to unveil dog food industry "secrets". <SNIP> PLEASE READ COMPLETE ARTICLE HERE
