Thank you for the article, as well as the references. My vet told me to stop using Orijen as dog food but was unable to direct me to any dog nutrition info, they only could recommend a handful of products and product websites. Your article helped me find the type of nutrition info that I am in search of (guidelines, daily recommendations, tools, tips). It started with Reference #33 (below) which led me to many other great sites and insights:

#33 The World Small Animal Veterinary Association. Global Nutrition Committee: Recommendations on selecting pet foods (2018). https://www.wsava.org/WSA.... Accessed July 23, 2018.

Thanks again!
