Actually I don't care for dogfoodanalysis much either. I use it to get an ingredient list. All they go through is protein and obvious by-products. There's so much more to food than that. They don't mention the artificial sweeteners in Blue Buffalo. They don't mention that those scientifically named ingredients are a hidden by-product made of animal digest. They don't mention anything about menadione as an unacceptable ingredient in foods that use it, and so many foods do use it, even ones they give high stars to. If you're going to use dogfoodanalysis I suggest you just use it to get a list of ingredients in the food you are thinking of getting and then look up each individual ingredient and its usefulness in a dog's diet separately.
