Our verdict

Is Petkind Tripe Dry – Green Tripe & Red Meat Formula a good dog food?

We score it 48/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

How we score

100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Why you might choose it

Doesn't list grain ingredients.
Declares energy content, which most labels omit.
Nutritionally complete: formulated to be fed as the whole diet.

Why you might not

100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.

Who is this food for?

Suits

Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
Doesn't list chicken, turkey, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

Your dog avoids beef: the label lists beef tripe
Your dog avoids lamb: the label lists lamb tripe
Your dog avoids fish: the label lists herring meal
Your dog avoids venison: it is listed as an ingredient
Your dog avoids pork: the label lists dehydrated pork protein
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. Find foods that fit your dog.

Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated

Why this score?

This recipe achieves an overall rating of 48 out of 100. The inclusion of ingredients without printed percentages contributed -10.6 points, and the processing format adjusted the score by -6.7. Conversely, the overall quality of the ingredient list added +5.5 points, while being labelled nutritionally complete contributed +2.3 points to the final evaluation.

Scored with model v3 on 2026-10-25. Each component is the feature value for this product multiplied by the model's published coefficient.

Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges

How the declared analysis compares with FEDIAF reference ranges for adult dogs. 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.

Guaranteed-analysis FEDIAF score: crude minimums and maximums are bounds, not typical values; moisture (a maximum) uses the processing median where available; experimental US score.

Nutrient	As fed (label)	Dry matter (scored)	Score
Protein	34	37.6 (band 18.298342541436465 to 40%)	100
Fat	16	17.7 (band 5.5911602209944755 to 20%)	100
Fibre	4	4.4 (band 0.5 to 5%)	100
Calcium	1.7	1.9 (band 0.5082872928176796 to 2.5%)	100
Phosphorus	0.8	0.9 (band 0.4066298342541437 to 1.6%)	94
Calcium:phosphorus ratio	2.1	2.1 (band 1 to 2%)	93.8
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)	-	-	100
Energy (kcal/100g)	368	406.6	100

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

Scored over 8 declared nutrients (combined weight 100); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.

Declared fortification: 14 nutritional additives on the label

Zinc proteinate
Iron proteinate

Manganese proteinate
Vitamin A supplement
Vitamin D3 supplement
Vitamin B12 supplement
Vitamin E supplement
a-tocopherol acetate
Niacin
Riboflavin

Folic acid

Medium confidence: the full five-part analysis is on file; where moisture was not declared it was 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.

100/100 · strong — 3 checkable claims: 3 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

"Complete and balanced, grain-free dry dog food" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
"Grain, gluten, corn, wheat, soy, and potato-free, suitable for sensitive dogs" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
"AAFCO-approved for all life stages" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.

4 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.

Strong: at least three checkable claims, all consistent with the declared label, and no compliance cap.
