Hi Darcy, I have been reading your posts about dog food and tried to do my own recasreh. The tool that made me think about my recent dog food was the scoring system where you add and subtract points for different ingredients in your food and then come up with the score either below (bad) or above 100 (good). If that scoring system is legit, it makes me sick to see what dog foods are promoted by vets and advertised for on animal related tv channels. Do you know where that scoring system originated and if it is a legitimate tool to evaluate your dog food? Thanks! NadjaDear Nadja, The dog food industry is a mega billion dollar industry and everyone wants in on the action. There are so many things out there that just aren't necessary to determine a good food. I've seen several of these scoring websites, some are probably legit, many are not. If the scoring system insists that you sign up first, know your source; they may want more from you than to find a dog food, expect spam and your info sold for money. And unless you know that who is behind the scoring understands nutrition and ingredients, you're not going to get good answers anyway; how do you know it's not one of the dog food makers who you would never buy from or someone being paid to entice you into buying bad food? Money drives a lot of people, be aware of that when you trust.I'm more practical than most. Instead of trying to figure this out with a scoring system, I'd say it's better to learn how to read a label and understand how some dog food makers can and do fudge their labels. It's pretty safe to say these days that if it's at the vet or the grocery store, I wouldn't feed it to my dogs. Instead of a scoring system of foods, know how to read the labels, understand ingredients, talk to the makers or the stores selling the food, if they don't give you good answers and won't do it in writing, don't buy from them. If you want good dog food, I only carry the good stuff at SitStay.com and although our food list is not yet a complete list of what I do like, it's a great place to shop with trust. Your own fresh or raw food is the best way to feed your dog. When you choose the food, you have complete control. If you can feed yourself, you can feed your dog. I hope this is helpful. Darcy
