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
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| made for a much loved customer and her dog on their diagnosis, contains a combination of protein sources for a range of sources, lacto-fermented fruit and vegetables plus a range of added Digestive Enzymes to help give your dog's gut the most efficient support possible (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| We purposely exclude bones from our meals as we believe nothing beats giving our dog's fresh bones. (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
