The 2026 List

Our annual ‘list’ of pet foods we trust to give our own pets.

The 2026 List is a digital product.
Please read all of the detailed information below and here before purchase, there are no refunds for digital products.

Why is the 2026 List offered at different prices? 

The List is offered at various prices to allow for various levels of support to the pet food consumer advocacy work of TruthaboutPetFood.com. The document is the same no matter what price you purchase at.

Where can I purchase these pet foods? 

These pet foods can be purchased from quality independent pet foods stores, and/or directly from the manufacturer, and some are available in larger retail. Each manufacturer page in the List provides information on their specific distribution. Most are not available in large retail stores.
