Our verdict
Is Anifit Vitalmenü Goat and Horse a good dog food?
We score it 84/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.
Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
- Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
- Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, fish, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids lamb: the label lists lamb muscle meat
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
- You are limiting fat: 30.0% on a dry-matter basis is in the high band
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.

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.
| Nutrient | As fed (label) | Dry matter (scored) | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 11 | 55 (band 18 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 6 | 30 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 0.3 | 1.5 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 83.3 |
| Calcium | 0.36 | 1.8 (band 0.5 to 2.5%) | 100 |
| Phosphorus | 0.18 | 0.9 (band 0.4 to 1.6%) | 95 |
| Sodium | 0.29 | 1.5 (band 0.1+%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 2 | 2 (band 1 to 2%) | 100 |
Scored over 7 declared nutrients (combined weight 85); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
Declared fortification: 1 nutritional additive on the label
- Vitamin D3: 250 IE/kg
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 (100% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 20/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) - not on file | 0/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |

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 — 2 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 0 contradicted.
Consistent with the label
- "Completely balanced dog food" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
