Commercial Food Finder
Relying on nutrition science rather than marketing, Food for Fen can help find the right commercial food for your dog. This service is 100% online and is available for North American, UK and European clients.
Why choose this service?
Walking down the food aisle at your local pet supply store, or browsing the vast offerings at Chewy or other online retailer can be overwhelming. Labeling is confusing, marketing can be misleading and sometimes it's just easiest to fall back to what you've fed previously, even though it might not be the ideal choice for your current dog. Let Food for Fen apply nutrition science to evaluate different brands and formulations. We ignore the marketing and social media and thoroughly examine labeling compliance, energy density, feeding guidelines, ingredient lists and macronutrient profiles, nutritional additives and more to help find the best compromise for your dog.
​
This service provides unbiased recommendations for commercial foods based on your dog's individual needs, your shopping preferences and budget. Foods examined can include kibble, canned/wet, raw, gently cooked or air/freeze dried foods.
