While other dog foods, such as Orijen Dry Dog Food (*Est. $40 per 15.4 lb. bag), are higher in protein, reports say Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul dog food doesn't do too badly in that regard. More significantly, it's free of low-quality fillers and by-products, and the majority of its carbohydrates come from better-quality sources, such as potatoes and whole grains. While more expensive than the very cheapest dog foods, it is price competitive with better foods sold in supermarkets and large pet food chains, such as Iams Healthy Naturals (*Est. $25 per 17.5 lb. bag), but rates considerably higher than most in terms of nutrition. It is a little harder to find, however.
The best reviewers evaluate dog foods based on ingredients. DogFoodAnalysis.com covers the most products, and offers detailed reviews on some of them. PetFoodRatings.com does the same thing, but covers fewer foods. Blogger Ask Susan Peters is more controversial, and few dog foods escape unscathed, though Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul does better than most. Whole Dog Journal's list of "approved" foods is based on clearly defined criteria, but the article is only available for subscribers. You can find user opinions at Zootoo.com.

Review: Diamond Pet Foods Chicken Soup For The Dog Lover's Soul, Editors of DogFoodAnalysis.com
This site isn't as comprehensive as DogFoodAnalysis.com, but it does nearly as good a job. Christopher Eng is impressed by the diverse ingredient line up and lack of cheap fillers. Pricing is also complimented.
