Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages

- Your dog avoids beef: the label lists beef
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists cod liver oil

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 · moderate — 1 checkable claim: 1 consistent, 0 contradicted.
Consistent with the label
- "All Formulas are complete and developed with a Pet Nutritionist according to AAFCO standards for Balanced Nutrition." — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
1 further claim on file that we cannot check against the label.
Moderate: every checkable claim is consistent with the declared label.
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Formulas are complete and developed with a Pet Nutritionist according to AAFCO standards for Balanced Nutrition. (on page) | Content | consistent | Manufacturer assertion |
| Sold fresh in stores only! Our frozen raw food is kept cold and hand-packed for local retailers, so it isn't available to ship online. (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
