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
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.
