I'm John. I run FeedPup as a one-person operation. I've lived with dogs since I was a kid — close to three decades of watching them grow, get sick, recover, and grow old — and that's the lens I bring to every formula I analyze.
"I'm not a veterinarian. I'm not a nutritionist. I'm a lifelong dog owner who wanted real answers about dog food — and discovered that most dog food review sites are just affiliate-link farms."
When I started seriously researching food for dogs with sensitive stomachs, I expected clear, evidence-based reviews. Sensitive stomachs, food allergies, and unknown diet histories are common, and owners deserve better than guesswork. So I started researching.
Every dog food review site I read was the same: a list of 5 popular brands, generic pros and cons, and affiliate links to Amazon. No real ingredient analysis. No reference to AAFCO standards or peer-reviewed veterinary GI research. Just rankings that conveniently lined up with whichever brand paid the highest commission.
So I built the alternative: independent research, transparent methodology, zero paid rankings. I read AAFCO guidelines line by line, cross-reference veterinary research, track FDA recall histories, analyze ingredient panels, and aggregate verified-buyer outcomes from Chewy and Amazon to find what actually helps.
FeedPup is the site I wish I'd found as a dog owner trying to do right by the dogs in my life.
In an industry full of fake "Dr." authors, I want to be clear about what I actually am — and what I'm not.
Nearly three decades around dogs. 100+ hours of research across 30+ formulas, AAFCO standards, peer-reviewed GI veterinary literature, and verified-buyer outcomes. Obsessive about ingredient panels.
I have no DVM, no nutritional certifications, no clinical training. If your dog is sick, see a vet — not a website.
I'm hiring a board-certified veterinary nutritionist as Medical Reviewer in 2026, when site revenue allows. Until then, medical content is clearly marked as pet-parent perspective.
