We always give first refusal to the manufacturers themselves as they should, in theory, be the most reliable source for their own products but when they are not interested or when they themselves do not sell to the public directly, we then offer the position to one of our trusted online pet shops instead. Our complete logo is only given to foods that comply fully with the complete food nutrient tolerances as recommended by the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF). These guidelines are designed to ensure that foods contain at least the basic nutrient levels required by pets. HOWEVER, a food not having this logo is not necessarily a bad thing - take a look at our guide to complete foods for more information. Overweight dogs: If your dog needs to lose weight, try to look for a food with below average fat levels. Our mission is to get every dog food and treat that is widely available in the UK listed on All About Dog Food. Naturally, with so many products out there and new ones springing up all of the time, some have to wait longer than others. BAKERS® Sizzlers® are delicious chewy rashers with an irresistible bacon flavour, that not only taste great, but also contain specific nutrients to help keep your dog healthy too!

Lastly, our smallest revenue stream is the store finder. While businesses are welcome to list their information with us for free, they also have the option to add some bells and whistles to their listings for a very small monthly fee. Naturally, whether a product has an approved supplier or not has no bearing whatsoever on its review or nutritional rating. The program also takes into account the food's processing method (extrusion, pasteurisation, baking, cold pressing etc) and how it is likely to have affected the nutrients contained within the ingredients. Unless otherwise stated, the Promotion cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotions, including VIP vouchers; Since it's not so important for dog treats to contain a high proportion of meat (or any meat at all for that matter) this logo is not displayed on the treat directory.Ingredients are then scored on a number of criteria - bio-appropriateness, quality and bio-availability of nutrients, whether the food contains too much or too little of any individual ingredients or classes of ingredients, synergies between specific ingredients and the nutrients they contain and so on. The total percentage of meat ingredients must be specified as well as the percentage of the largest non-meat ingredient. Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements. If you spot any of these issues, please consult our guide to feeding dogs with minor health problems.

You will only see our natural logo on foods that do not have any added artificial preservatives, antioxidants, colourings and flavourings. The logo is also not awarded to foods containing other controversial synthetic ingredients like STPP. The nutritional rating shows how beneficial we expect a food or treat to be for the majority of dogsPets at Home reserves the right to amend, replace or withdraw the promotion and/or modify the terms of the promotion at any time; While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients. Unfortunately, it's rarely that easy. Many manufacturers have very different ways of providing feeding guidelines. For example, where food X tells you how much to feed if your dog weighs 5kg, 10kg, 15kg and so on, food Y may only provide a figure for 'small dogs', 'medium dogs' etc. Others might say something like "dog's weight: 0-20kg, daily amount: 100-400g" which leaves a awful lot of guesswork. In all cases, where exact amounts are not given, we extrapolate the figures that are provided to make a best estimate.

After each food or treat's listing and rating are finalised, we try to find a reputable online retailer to become our 'approved supplier' for the range. Where dog food producers provide alternative feeding amounts for any other reasons (for example, for very active dogs, breeding bitches etc.) we only ever use the 'normal' value. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

Clean, fresh drinking water should always be available. For your dog's health, respect the feeding guide and exercise him/her dally. Supervise your dog when giving him/her the treat.
