Hi, I’m Pallab Kumar, the founder of DogFoodGrade
I started this site because I kept running into the same problem: dog food rating sites give a food 4 or 5 stars, but they never show you how they got there. You’re asked to trust the stars without being able to check them.
So I built a rating system you can check. Every food on DogFoodGrade is scored from three things anyone can look up: the manufacturer’s own label (guaranteed analysis, ingredient list and AAFCO statement), our published scoring formula, and the FDA’s public recall records. If you want to know why a food got 71 instead of 80, the breakdown is on its page, and you can recalculate it yourself.
What we do
- Rate 14 dog foods with one formula, using the same rules for every brand. See how we rate dog food.
- Track recalls and quiet recipe changes, so you know when a food you trust has changed.
- Explain labels in plain English, so you can make your own decision.
What we don’t do
- We don’t sell dog food, and no brand can pay for a rating or a better position in a list.
- Affiliate commissions never change a score. Read our affiliate disclosure.
- We don’t claim to have fed or tested foods we haven’t. Our scores come from label data, and we say so.
