Why is TRUDOG freeze dried raw food not included in the recommended list? Thank you.
Hi Nancy,
I see a few questions in the comments and would love to know your response…your opinion of Dr. Marty’s is one of the main ones.
My own question: I haven’t read the whole list yet but it appears to be alphabetical. Do you have, or plan to create, a Best to Worst list, or even just the Top Ten?
I’ve been feeding plain raw for 20+ years….human grade, straight from the supermarket, or from a meat processor who delivers throughout California. Also a really good source of ground green tripe, organ meat and trachea. I’m looking for a good dry food to keep in my stash of emergency supplies, since raw wouldn’t last very long. I use Honest Kitchen and Vital Essentials for training and treats and would like to expand my choices.
Thanks!
Dr. Marty’s is on the list. We don’t “rank order” the products, as what is most appropriate for your dog may be quite unsuitable for others. We encourage readers to look for appropriate products for their own dogs, checking (in particular) fat and protein levels and ingredients.
Be aware that the list can be re-ordered by clicking on the top of the columns. You can also set up a search query by adding filters, to find products that are above or below certain levels of fat or protein, for example, or that include or omit certain ingredients. Finally, please note that there are 9 pages of results, but to go from page to page, you have to scroll back to the top of the list. We’ll try to get the button for navigating from page to page at the bottom of each page, too.
Is there printed list of these foods or just the photos?
Not sure what you are not seeing….there is a list of foods, with descriptions of the offerings from each company.
We have been feeding Dr Marty Nature’s Blend for about 6 months for their morning meal and a vet recommended kibble for their evening meal. They love the morning meal but are not so crazy about the kibble. Our vet recommended Hills Kidney Care for our 12 year old Cairn Terrier with liver issues and another Hills product for our Wire Chiwoxie. They both prefer the freeze dried food. I noticed Dr. Marty’s food was not mentioned in your article. We also supplement the food with boiled chicken breast treats. We would like to feed our dogs the best available diet available. Any comments anyone?
A bit late in answering, but of course your vet recommends kibble–that’s what they learn in vet school and Hill’s is how they make money. Kibble is not part of a dog’s natural diet, raw is. Raw will most likely help the kidney and liver issues, too. And btw, vaccines cause a lot of these issues. Few vets will tell you that, few vets have any knowledge of vaccines except what they’ve been taught in one or two classes in vet school–all sponsored by pharmaceutical companies.
Great article – can you tell me if Open Farm uses the kill switch? My Lagotto Romagnolo absolutely loves this food and is doing really well on it. Thank you for all your research!
Great article! I just wish the pricing had been standardized – $ per oz, for example. I know that nutrition and weight aren’t going to be equivalent, but it’s a good start…
I am interested.
Did WDJ have a look at the dehydrated food, Hurraw from Quebec Canada? I have fed it to my dogs and was curious if this food was included in your review.
