Dog & Cat Food Reviews from an Accredited Pet Nutritionist
Your cat is a carnivore, but is your dog?
Many of us believe our dogs are omnivores, but did you know their biology, dental structure, digestive system, and natural instinct are far more like a cat, than us as an omnivore?
For these reasons, and many more (which you’ll learn from my pet food reviews), I view both cats and dogs as pet carnivores.
You should too.
I have researched and reviewed pet foods since 2007, having written prolifically on my other site Pet Food Reviews (Australia).
Since 2007 I have become a CPD accredited pet nutritionist and veterinary support assistant (VSA). I have collaborated with renowned veterinarian Dr Ian Billinghurst (author of Give Your Dog A Bone and pioneer of the BARF Diet), Dr Tom Lonsdale (author of Raw Meaty Bones and Multi-Billion-Dollar Pet Food Fraud), ABC (Australia) and Channel 9 News (Australia), the Australian senate, University professors, pet food execs, and countless pet owners like yourself.
Over my journey I have learned one thing – pet food marketing has a lot to answer for.
Together, I hope to point you in the direction of feeding your dogs and cats a healthier, more animal-based diet, be it kibble, canned, air-dried, freeze-dried, BARF, raw, or homemade.
Feeding our pets a better diet is easier (and sometimes cheaper) than you think when you know what to look for.

About Pet Food Ratings
Pet Food Ratings is a collection of unbiased, independent dog food reviews and cat food reviews.
I became involved in the pet food industry shortly after the melamine recalls of 2007, when it became clearly apparent how dangerous pet foods can be. Before then we’d all been very cleverly fooled by marketing.
Nobody questioned the basics, like why do we feed our carnivorous cats grains? Are dogs omnivores, or are they really carnivores based on their dental structure and digestive system?
Many years later, in the 2020s, I’ve had a wealth of experience with pet food manufacturers, retailers, veterinary professors, vets, and government regulations. The reviews on this website, and others I have been involved in, have led to growing awareness worldwide, but pet food still isn’t as safe, or healthy, as you may think.
What dog or cat food do you feed? Perhaps a good starting point is reading our respective review…!
