Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
- Labelling or feeding guide is aimed at small dogs

Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: it is listed as an ingredient

- Your dog avoids pork: the label lists pork
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists wheat germ
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Immune system booster (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Great for picky eaters (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Great for dogs with food sensitivities (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
