[nagdu] Dog Food Information Resource?

[Nicole Torcolini]

My family already had a pet dog when I got Lexia, so we knew about choosing
dog food. If I remember correctly, I switched Lexia's food not long after
coming home with her. Sadly, I think that it might be possible that some of
the schools are influenced by how much dog food costs--or does not cost.
Also, another reason that people might end up advertently feeding their dogs
low quality food is that, at the time that they started using it, it was
better food, but the ingredients changed over time. Unless the food feels
different, smells different, or there is some other indicator, people
probably don't think to occasionally check that the food has not changed.
And, of course, the dog food companies that are trying to not lose
customers, are not going to tell you that the food is changing. Perhaps that
should be a law: If a dog food company changes the ingredients in a dog food
the bags and advertisements and whatever else has to clearly indicate the
change for a certain amount of time, maybe like six months or something.

Everyone knows where I stand on dog food.
But dogfoodadvisor.com was a website I used to look at ratings, nutritional
information, and real reviews of different types of dog food. That site also
has a gamut of helpful articles and forums concerning different types of dog
food and different diets.
Many people don't think carefully about what goes into their dog's stomach.
I certainly didn't when I first got my dog. I just figured that the vets at
guide dog schools knew their stuff and would never encourage me to give my
dog something that would harm him or undo his health. Boy was I wrong!
