Hi and welcome what kind of dogs are you thinking about or researching?

 

[Hemlock]

Welcome! Such a sensible idea to do the research first.

Thank you. We (ok, I) have decided on a soft coated Wheaten terrier. Yes, I know it's high maintenance with that coat, but it's worth it for that magnificent coat.

Nice choice. I always think they look like the canine equivalent of a boy band member (it’s the floppy hair I think)!

 

[JudyN]

Ooh, lovely, I do like wheatens. I hope we get to see lots of puppy photos!

 

[Hemlock]

They are very handsome dogs.

Have you heard of website 'all about dog food'. It is an independent nutritional review of most of the dog foods. Super useful . It is quite surprising to see nutritional value done as percentage/ price of a vast range. The foods you think v the foods that may offer more nutritional benefits at less price.

Thank you for this, there's a lot to go through on the site.
The well known brands generally don't seem to score highly and are more expensive. The big problem is too much choice - 310 suggestions!

Have you seen that you can filter according to the weight and age of the dog, and also your budget, and also rank the foods according to rating, cost, and so on? I'd also consider whether you want the convenience of kibble, whether you're drawn to premium or 'good enough' quality, how you want to buy your food (e.g. support a local pet shop, buy from a supermarket, order in bulk online, etc.). Once you've narrowed down what you're after, you could list all the available options by rating and start from the top-rated.
