This must be a site that gets paid by the company to post only their food. When it comes to deteremining how safe and healthy a food is for animals alot more than get quotes out of a dictionary is required.I am studing NATURAL animal nutrtion and I find that the info on this site seems a little bunk for me. Do your research, shop at small indepdent stores that care about the animal.
I have not gone through the reviews in much detail but what I can say is that in any normal distribution of data, a normal distribution usually has a large amount of the data falling in near the "average" rating. As we go toward the higher and lower ends of any normal distribution we get progressively smaller segments of data. Eventually at the top and bottom of any scale there is just a tiny number of bits of data. To put this another way, if we were to rate say wines under a "normal" rating scheme we should expect to find close to 68% of the wines rating average (give or take a bit) while 20% would rate above/below average, 10% very good or very bad and less than 2% exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. In the case of a normal rating of dog foods I would expect only one dog food manufacturer would rate in the top category just as I would expect only one dog food manufacturer to rate in the very basement. The biggest problem with anything manufactured is that the public is driven in large part by their pocket books and that means most dog food manufacturers do not want to put the best cuts of meat and hence the highest costs of products into their dog foods as the public will largely not buy them. While many of us are passionate about our pets and treat them as little people. Many people could care less about their dogs and feed them whatever is cheapest and easiest. The market place responds by making the cheapest foods possible and marketing them as well as they can to a public that "wants to believe" they are feeding their dogs fresh vegtables and "choice cuts of meat". Go into a dog food manufacturing plant and see what those "Choice cuts of meat" really are. I will be surprised if you can get near them without vomting.
I don't know if the ratings are accurate or not. What I can buy is that there might only be one manufacturer of really top quality dog foods, a handfull of good dog food makers and a ton of average dog food manufacturers. Not surprisingly the dog food manufacturers that are really large are not the ones making the best foods but instead the ones that market an average product as if it was a superior one. We are gullible and buy it because we want to believe it.

The only foods you recommend are made by Hi Life. I find it difficult to believe that this is the only safe food out there. Am I missing something here.??
