From Chihuahuas to the Mastiff, domestic dogs carry the same DNA patterns and share a single evolutionary origin, wolf-like ancestry. Just like their wild cousins, modern dogs and cats are still carnivores - equipped with sharp teeth, a short and acidic (Ph of 1.0) digestive system that's primarily tuned to run on quality protein. WHY therefore, do almost all commericial petfoods today base grains and carbs as their main ingredients ... ? READ ON  Friends of Orijen ...
CHAMPION PETFOODS Orijen manufacturers own website in Canada. A family owned business with over 30 years in the pet food industry. They use no imported products, are nutrition focused and have a mission statement that is clear and concise. 'WORLD CLASS PETFOODS FROM FRESH REGIONAL INGREDIENTS'.
DOGFOODANALYSIS.COM Dogfoodanalysis.com is an offshoot of boxerworld.com - the largest and longest running doggie internet forum in the US. Obviously a reflection of how many boxers exist in North America. Their forum dealt with so many questions regarding nutrition and feeding that a group of nutritional enthusiasts thought it warranted a seperate, independant site.
They created a system to review and grade all submitted dog foods from around the world and issue each one with a star ranging from one to six - one being the lowest and six being the highest. If your current dog food is not showing you can submit it for classification.
They are not associated with any dog food manufacturers and are not sponsored in any way. Their advice is un-biased and independant - they have no barrow to push!

The skinny on Petfood
Were you aware that almost exactly what happened last year with Fonterra / San Lu, the baby milk powder contaminated with melamine occurred in 2007 in North America with Pet Foods. This time 17,000 pets were reported as ill with an estimated 20% dieing from acute renal failure. It resulted in the largest ever multi-million dollar pet food recall in history across the US in over 100 product lines.
Additionally, banned and potentially carcinogenic causing preservatives that would not be allowed in the human food industry can completely legally be included in our pets food - still.
Grains and low cost fillers that have more to do with economics than actual nutrition are primary ingredients in industry leading pet foods. Carnivores are unable to get the full goodness they require from grains and carbs - yet every commercial dried dog food in NZ has a heavy emphasis on grains, more often than not as their primary ingredients!
