How we score

Why this score?

This recipe achieves an overall rating of 49 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 +5.6 points, while being labelled nutritionally complete contributed +2.3 points to the final evaluation.

100% 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

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. Use the homepage filter to find foods that fit your dog.

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 to 40%)	100
Fat	16	17.7 (band 5.5 to 20%)	100
Fibre	4	4.4 (band 0.5 to 5%)	100
Calcium	1.7	1.9 (band 0.5 to 2.5%)	100
Phosphorus	0.8	0.9 (band 0.4 to 1.6%)	94.2
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.

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.

Item	Points
✓ Ingredient list on the label (mandatory)	10/10
✗ Printed percentages on the label (voluntary) - not on file	0/20
✓ Analytical constituents declared (mandatory)	15/15
✓ Additives declared (mandatory)	10/10
✓ Energy value declared (voluntary)	5/5
✓ Complete/complementary designation (mandatory)	5/5
✓ Feeding guidance given (mandatory)	10/10
✓ Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory)	5/10
✓ Country of manufacture stated (voluntary)	10/10
✗ Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file	0/5

Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Batch and date labelling).

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.
