  1. I would like to see some mention of Vital Essentials freeze-dried raw dry food. I like it because it comes in a lot of single-protein flavors, is grain-free, has no chemical preservatives or colorings, comes in “mini-nibs” so it’s easy to feed, and meets AAFCO standards for vitamins & minerals. I combine it with comparable single-protein wet foods and cooked vegetables.

  2. I was hoping to see Simple Food Project on your list of raw dehydrated foods. Are you still testing new brands? I feed raw, but when I’m traveling, SFP is on the menu and my dogs love it. I also use it for training treats.

  3. I wish you had ranked the foods and included a study of Dr. Marty Nature’s Blend. My dog barely eats any kibble. Has nausea a lot it seems. BUT The only food my dog LOVES is Dr. Marty Natures Blend. My vet did not recommend it recently except as a small topper as it is not certified by the AA (whatever) group. I hope you can review it and rank it as good or not.

  4. After using Kiwi and Ziwi air-dried foods for years in combo with Darwin frozen raw, I realized my dog’s itching may have been due to those brands’ use of green mussel. Ziwi’s steamed and dry foods don’t include that ingredient, and his itching has subsided.

  5. We feed our two spaniels 1/2 cup of freeze dried and 1/4 cup raw 80/20 ground beef at each meal (2Xday). I may have missed any mention of including raw meat with the freeze dried in the listing of approved food–will you please address that method of feeding? Thank you.
