Founder & Editor

"I'm not a veterinarian — I'm a lifelong dog owner who's spent nearly three decades around dogs. I started FeedPup because every dog food site I read just rewrote Amazon listings. So I built the independent research resource I wish existed — ingredient analysis, recall tracking, and honest rankings backed by data, not marketing claims."

Why FeedPup

Honest reviews. Real testing. No paid rankings.

There are dozens of dog food review sites that just rewrite Amazon listings and slap affiliate links on top. I started FeedPup to do the homework most sites skip — and to publish what I find, even when it's inconvenient for the brands.

01

Ingredient analysis, not marketing copy

Every product is evaluated against AAFCO nutritional standards, the ingredient label, and peer-reviewed GI veterinary research — not the brand's own claims.

02

Real-buyer outcomes, not press releases

I aggregate verified-buyer reviews from Chewy, Amazon, and vet forums to track what actually happens when dogs with sensitive stomachs eat these foods.

03

No brand can pay for a ranking

Affiliate commissions exist, but they never influence rankings. I publish methodology and call out flaws in even my top picks.
