Sniff
3,598 foods scored. Powered by The Sniff System.

Know what's actually in your dog's bowl.

Reading dog food labels is a nightmare. We did the reading. Every product gets a simple A to F grade, with the reasons spelled out so you can decide for yourself.

No brand pays for a score
Full methodology published

Sniff is independent. We make money when you buy through our links, but the cut is the same whether a food scores an A or an F. So we have zero reason to lie to you.

How Sniff works

Three steps. No marketing fluff.

1

We read every label

Every ingredient, every percentage, every disclaimer. From every dog food we can find.

2

We check the science

AAFCO standards, peer-reviewed nutrition research, FDA recalls. Real sources, not marketing copy.

3

You get a grade you can trust

A simple A to F score with the reasons behind it. Look up your dog's food in 10 seconds.
