I should have known I wouldn't stick to just dog training information. I have used this website several times to evaluate different dog foods I have purchased. Because I currently live in Mexico, I have less choice of dog foods than I do when I'm in the US, though actually a lot of US brands are here. Click through on the doggiesabcs link to use the calculator.

You'll need a dog food label or some other source for the ingredients information -- perhaps available online for many brands -- and you may have to guess or make some substitutions, but I have found this quite useful.

One brand of dog food that I use has come out 9 or 10 (where 10 is best) for two products in their line, and 5 for another one. Needless to say, I'm not buying the 5 dog food any more!

The first 5 Ingredients in your dog's food are very important because they make up the majority of the food and play a significant role in your pet's overall health.

To find out how your dog food ranks just select the first 5 ingredients from the dog food ingredient list (note: Select the ingredients in the order they appear on the label). Then press the Calculate button and we'll tell you how your dog food rates.
