Dog Food Finder: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Dog Food Finder free?
Yes. It's free to use, with no account and no sign-up.
What if my dog is a mixed breed?
Choose Mixed breed, or the breed closest to your dog in size. The finder also asks for your dog's weight and adult size, so the results fit your dog either way.
Does my dog's breed change which foods come first?
Not directly. The breed fills in a starting adult size and activity level, which you can change. The foods shown, and their order, come from your dog's life stage, adult size, activity and the proteins you want to avoid.
How does the finder rank the foods?
First, foods that don't suit your dog are removed: the wrong life stage or size, any mention of a protein you want to avoid, or a label that excludes large breed growth for a puppy that will grow large. The rest are ranked by Puglib score, with a small, capped adjustment for how active your dog is.
Where do the feeding amounts come from?
From each brand's own published feeding chart, read for your dog's weight and activity. Puglib doesn't calculate its own amounts, so adjust to keep a healthy body condition, and ask your vet if you're unsure.
Do brands pay to be listed or ranked higher?
No. No brand pays to be listed, scored or ranked, and none can.
