With changes in pet food regulations, new formulations, repeated recalls and company buyouts shaping the pet food landscape, it’s more important than ever to know how to choose the right brand for your dog.

This Monday, we're kicking off our highly anticipated 2025 Pet Food Review to give you the tools you need to pick the best pet food for 2025, no matter your budget. Whether you're feeding a high-end kibble or a more affordable option, we'll help you navigate the ever-evolving market and ensure your pup gets the nutrition they deserve.

Veterinary nutritionists, pet food formulators and industry experts are joining us to take an in-depth look at top-selling dry dog foods. We’re covering everything from budget-friendly brands to premium and veterinary prescription options. But here's the catch: Top-selling doesn’t always mean top-quality.
We’re reviewing over a dozen dry and air-dried dog foods, including brands like Farmina, Purina Pro Plan, Open Farm, Blue Buffalo, Acana, and more. We'll also cover:

⭐️ How to evaluate kibble and identify top-quality ingredients
🐶 Are feeding recommendations making your dog overweight?
🔎 Do companies' claims hold up under scrutiny?
🏭 The impact of formulation changes, regulatory shifts, and company acquisitions on pet food quality

Plus, stay tuned because in the coming months, we’ll be reviewing gently cooked, freeze-dried, and fresh pet foods as well. There’s a lot to cover, but we’re here to help you make informed decisions that fit both your dog’s needs and your budget.

We hope you'll join Monday, Jan.20th at 11:30am EST live on the Inside Scoop! (edit to new time)

Comment SCOOPERS and we'll message you the link to join Inside Scoop, a Planet Paws monthly subscription group. All live podcasts are recorded and available to watch later. You’ll also be able to watch over 5 years of content including: past live podcasts, interviews, ebook downloads, and more!

Some of the more heartbreaking pleas we get are ones from children telling us their parent has passed away and they can't take in their parent's pet so they do the right thing and search for a rescue to take in the animal. It is extra heartbreaking when he pet is the type that "only a parent could love" because of their spice level.

If you are an experienced cat owner looking to help an old lady feel safe in her retirement, please reach out to us about Shadow ([email protected]). Although Shadow has strong opinions, she clearly isn't a lost cause. Read below about Shadow from her owner's daughter below:

"My mom just passed away this week and she has a cat, Shadow, who is not very social. She is about 11 years old. My mom got her as a kitten in 2012 and had to go immediately into the hospital. She has never been properly socialized. She is very much a one person, one pet household kind of a cat. She was fiercely protective of my mom, however, even my mom was unable to groom her or cut her nails. She is very particular about her food and extremely skittish around strangers. She will come out and sniff you if given enough time with you, but will strike at you and hiss at you if you attempt to touch her. She would sit quietly near my mom, or on my mom's outstretched legs. She would sleep on or near her feet at night, but then sometimes she would even scratch and hiss at my mother. She is litter trained and uses a Breeze litter system. Right now the poor baby is very scared and very sad as our husbands have been going in and out each day feeding and sitting with her a bit while my sister and I have been staying at the hospital/hospice with my mom.

My sister and I cannot take her since we each have two cats of our own and Shadow cannot be with other pets.

We promised our mom we would do our best to find her a home and we believe someone who is willing to dedicate the proper commitment and love, she can have a good life. We just don't know where to turn.

We have been turned down by several places already, one even told us we should just have her put down which we don't want to do. We have to find her a place by the end of the month since my mom lived in subsidized housing and we are not able to renew her lease while we search for a home for Shadow."
