Independent dog food and product rankings - on a dry-matter basis, against AAFCO thresholds and WSAVA criteria. No fluff. No paid podium spots.
There are hundreds of makers, labels tell half-truths, and online "rankings" are often paid lists. We calculate composition on a dry-matter basis, check standards and brand credibility - and say plainly what is worth your dog's bowl.
Protein and fat on a dry-matter basis, named meat, no needless fillers.
Compliance with AAFCO plus real feeding trials, not just label claims.
Brand credibility against WSAVA criteria - who really makes this food, and how.
EPA/DHA, preservation quality, no artificial colours or needless chemistry.
Opinions from owners who actually feed it - real-world experience from the bowl.
From food and toy tests, through unboxing and grooming, to comfort and the final recommendation - every product passes through Bekon's paws (and palate).

Dry, wet, fresh, freeze-dried, raw - 10 formats, one algorithm. We compare on a dry-matter basis and by cost per 1,000 kcal.
Live rankings
From training treats to dental chews. Too-hard chews fracture teeth - we check with the thumbnail test.
First tests
Brushes, combs, shampoos, nails, teeth. Tested on Bekon - a poodle, i.e. the most demanding coat there is.
First tests
Walking gear rated on biomechanics research, not marketing. Y-harnesses are not automatically better - we check the data.
First tests
Dog toys have NO mandatory safety standards. So we check materials, hardness and durability ourselves.
First tests
GPS trackers, cameras, automatic feeders, fountains. All measurable: accuracy, battery, subscription costs.
Coming soon
Car seats, belts and crates. The Center for Pet Safety has tested ~400 products - about a dozen hold its certificate. The rest is claims.
Coming soon
Beds, bowls (incl. slow feeders), crates, steps. Plus myth-busting: raised bowls do not protect against bloat (GDV).
Coming soon
Ticks, fleas, worming - educational guides to active substances only, vet-reviewed. We do not rank medicines.
Educational zone
In the UK, 25% of dogs are insured. We compare what policies actually cover: exclusions, limits, waiting periods.
Educational zoneProducts, prices and shops differ between countries - we show the ranking for your market.
No spam. Just fresh rankings, ingredient warnings and price deals.
