our rating

Is Advance Puppy Oodles Wet Dog Food with Turkey and Rice a good dog food?

We score it 42/100 (Poor). The main reasons are set out in "Why you might not" below, and every step of the calculation is shown under "How we calculated this score".

How we score

Why this score?

This recipe achieves an overall score of 42 out of 100 based on several key factors. Ingredients without printed percentages contributed -9.4, while the processing format added -6.7 to the total. Additionally, the additive load contributed -4, and the additives in the recipe provided +3.3.

Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.

90% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

The Recipe score measures how attractive and transparent the declared ingredient list is. It is not, by itself, proof that the food is nutritionally appropriate for long-term feeding. The Nutritional and Evidence scores measure what we can verify towards that stronger claim.

Why you might choose it

  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Declares energy content, which most labels omit.
  • Nutritionally complete: formulated to be fed as the whole diet.

Why you might not

  • Only protein and fat declared; fibre, ash and moisture missing from the analysis.
  • Its additive load costs about 4 points in the rating.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for puppies
  • Doesn't list venison, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
  • Your dog avoids beef: the label lists beef
  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
  • Your dog avoids lamb: it is listed as an ingredient
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists fish oil
  • Your dog avoids pork: it is listed as an ingredient
  • Your dog avoids grain: the label lists rice - white
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein

These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Use the homepage filter to find foods that fit your dog.

Contributions are rounded to two decimals, so they may not sum exactly to the subtotal. The full coefficient table is published on the methodology page.

Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges

How the declared analysis compares with FEDIAF reference ranges for puppies and growth. The label prints as-fed values; we convert to a dry-matter basis before scoring, and the bands are dry-matter ranges. Scores rise to 100 at the band midpoint: the reference is adequacy, not maximisation. Nutrients with a published upper limit taper again above it; fat is policed through calorie density rather than a direct penalty.

Scored against FEDIAF growth minima; puppy scoring is under review.

NutrientAs fed (label)Dry matter (scored)Score
Protein7.58.323.2
Fat88.8100
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)--79.8
Energy (kcal/100g)110121.5100

Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 59.5, omega-3 100). The FEDIAF minimum for omega-6 is linoleic acid specifically.

Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.

Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture estimated from the food type.

This measures agreement with published reference ranges, not suitability for an individual dog. For medical conditions, follow veterinary guidance.

Transparency: what the label discloses

How much the manufacturer discloses, measured against the FEDIAF Code of Good Labelling Practice and Regulation 767/2009. Mandatory items dominate the weighting.

Safety: recall history

Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.

No recalls recorded in our database.

Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it

The claims made on the pack and product page, checked against the declared label. We record claims as stated; "consistent" means our stored label data supports the claim, "contradicted" means it conflicts with it. Functional claims are recorded but never scored.

Claims on file; none we can check against the label
