How we rate food

Our brand ratings, assessed on a scale of up to 5, are determined by a sophisticated algorithm that incorporates TrustPilot reviews, User Engagement scores and comprehensive reviews sourced from The Dog Food Advisor.

Dog Food Advisor

Dog Food Advisor

Since 2008, The Dog Food Advisor has researched, reviewed and rated more than 5,373 dog food products. We know who actually makes each dog food, the brand's recall history and the company's safety practices.

TrustPilot Rating

TrustPilot serves as an expansive, worldwide platform where individuals can share their product experiences through reviews and star ratings. In cases where a brand lacks a TrustPilot score, its rating will rely on the Dog Food Advisor rating.

Engagement

Engagement Score

The User Engagement score, ranging from 3.00 to 5.00, reflects the level of interaction users have with a brand's chart listing over the past week. The more clicks a brand receives relative to its peers, the higher its engagement score.
