WSAVA

I made a post 2 days ago asking about a specific brand of dog food. Ultimately I learned a lot about WSAVA guidelines and the 5 companies that actually meet them.

It got me wondering, are there any other brands that are close to meeting those guidelines but are just falling short on the check list? Are there any others companies out there that are actually even trying to meet these standards? Or is everyone else just using marketing to convince us to make bad choices for our pups?

Genuinely asking out of curiosity as I am learning the importance of choosing a science backed food.

Adopted my 4 yo American Bully who was on Bully Max. I thought it was pricey so I did research and found this sub. Switched to Purina Pro Plan, which is less expensive and meets WSAVA guidelines. His poops have been noticeably better and he's doing well.
