I don't think Dog Food Analysis is unbiased. Their rating system is pure ridiculous
You want to learn about dog food?....read posts on this site. We'll tell you exactly what the dog is doing on the food. We've fed it all!
Why do you think that?
if you look at taste of the wilds rating, they say that it is not a solid 6 stars contender and is one of the lower quality 6 star ones. then if you go to orijen regional red, hey say its got one of the highest meat contents available. i like DFA they are very explanatory for each specific one of their foods they got.I don't like DFA simply because it is too simplistic in its rankings.
Rating Taste of the Wild in the same class with Orijen and EVO is unfair in my opinion. (both 6 stars)
I'd also like to see more emphasis on faith and ethics of the manufacturer.
However, I will say this....it would be near impossible to devise a PERFECT system for rating foods. DFA does it about as best as you would be able to do.
And if someone picks anything on that site in the 4-6 star class, they are feeding a much better food than 9/10 owners.
ive read peopleTOTW is a Diamond product and as such has ethoxyquin in any fish meal ingredient. That for me is enough to put it in the NO bucket.

they use protein, fat and carb metres for each food, and also flag controversial ingredients... a nice change from dog food analysis.
All foods do NOT use it. Read the orijen/ acana link I posted above. Also, all natura products are E free, as are fromm products. And remember, it is ONLY used to preserve fish MEAL (not whole fish) so if a food does not contain some kind of fish meal, it is E free no matter who the manufacturer is.well if its baked out i dont see the problem. ive read that all foods use a little bit. ive read orijen has lie .00001 or something in it, so its not 0... and TOTW has liek .00005 or something.(just making up numbers but iread something similar)
salty dog, i think for the most part DFA is accurate, however....i think they have canidae grain free and TOTW mixed up. they rate canidae grai nfree as one of the highest quality 5 star foods, yet TOTW which is a lesser food IMO is a low quality 6 star.
i think acana grain free is a little higher quality than TOTW also and that's 5 stars.
id give canine caviar atleast 4 stars.
