Meet the man behind Dog Food  Advisor: Dr. Mike Sagman. (The following is from his Web site.)

The The Dog Food Advisor is a website designed to help you make a more informed decision when shopping for dog food.

Welcome! My name is Mike Sagman. And as the editor and creator of this community, I believe it’s important for you to know a little about my background.

I’m a graduate of the Medical College of Virginia with a doctoral degree in dental surgery.

In addition, my college training includes a major in chemistry and a minor in biology.

Yet none of my education or my 30+ years in the practice of dental medicine should be considered a pre-condition for publishing The Dog Food Advisor.

That’s because after writing and publishing more than 700 dog food reviews representing some 3,200 commercial products, I’m considered an authority on reading and interpreting pet food labels.
