Why Should You Never Trust Dog Food Advisor
As an owner of two dogs, I can tell you with full confidence that dogs are very different from humans when it comes to food. What works for one dog may be harmful to another and vice versa,
—and this has led me to trust certain sources more than others when it comes to deciding what’s best for my pups. A great example of this is Dog Food Advisor (DFA), which ranks the dog food industry based on user ratings submitted by dog owners just like you and me. While DFA seems like an awesome resource, there are several reasons why you should never trust them!
Part 1: Dog Food Advisor Facts
Reviews and ratings of pet food brands are extremely subjective, so don’t trust their reviews. To test how trustworthy Dog Food Advisor is we dogfooded them,
(fed our own pets their recommended foods) to see if they had an agenda and to see if they actually worked. Here’s what happened

What Is Dogfooding and Why Does It Matter?
Part 3: Relying on Dog Food Advisor
It’s a common misconception that it’s okay to rely on Dog Food Advisor (DFA) and other nutritional consultants
when determining which foods to feed your pet. The reason is that while they can be helpful, they are not necessarily complete sources of information. While DFA certainly has reliable advice,
there is no guarantee that their recommendations are in alignment with your dog’s unique needs.
Part 4: The Bad Science of Dog Food Advisor
Many of these claims are supported by bad research and biased studies
(also known as studies or reports that were paid for by large pet food companies). One such group is a non-profit called The Center for Veterinary Medicine. This center’s sole purpose is to give pet owners unbiased information about veterinary issues. Instead, they produce reports that are heavy on the praise of certain brands and light on negative feedback.
Part 5: Benefits and Risks of Dogfooding
In most cases, dogfooding can help a startup get off its feet and provide value to customers. But in some situations, it could prove to be bad for business—either directly or indirectly. Here are seven reasons why you should never trust dog food advisors
Part 6: Responses to the How Dare You Question Our Integrity? Outrage
Write a professional rebuttal to a customer, influencer,
or community member who complains about unethical content and behavior. Go above and beyond with your response,
and then talk to someone about your company’s social media policies on managing crisis communications. #LunchnLearn @laineygossip @juliezielinski
