Dog food review dog with specsWe have only included on this website pet foods that we rate highly based on the criteria that we believe is most important in a dog food. We welcome reviews posted in the forum for other foods. We will always have a highlight on the top 5 dog foods that we regard the highest available in the UK.

We have included the main criteria for how we've rated these dog foods so that you understand the basis of selection.

I think that you should decide which foods are inappropriate for your dog. This website provides you with the knowledge to help you make that decision. If you want to comment on either the recommended dog foods or other dog foods - good or bad - then please use the forums.

The UK dog foods I recommend are:

   Symply Dog Food, James Wellbeloved, Arden Grange, Natural dog food company, Lily's Kitchen

Others to consider are
   Burns, Orijen (not made in the UK, made in Canada)
