Our verdict

Is BEWI DOG® sensitive GF a good dog food?

We score it 44/100 (Poor). The main reasons are set out in "Why you might not" below, and every step of the calculation is shown under "How we calculated this score".

How we score

40% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Why you might choose it

  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.
  • Nutritionally complete: formulated to be fed as the whole diet.

Why you might not

  • Around 25% of the recipe is generic or unspecified ingredients.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 9% of the dry matter; carbohydrates dominate.
  • No analytical breakdown is published.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Doesn't list beef, lamb, fish, venison, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists dehydrated poultry proteins
  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists dehydrated poultry proteins
  • Your dog avoids pork: the label lists hydrolysed pork
  • 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 a total score of 44 out of 100 based on several key factors. The overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +2.9 points to the score. However, the processing format reduced the score by -6.7. Furthermore, ingredients without printed percentages subtracted -4.3, and the carbohydrate content contributed -4 to the calculation.

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

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.

67/100 · limited — 3 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 1 contradicted.

Contradicted by the label

  • "Single protein source: Poultry" — the declared label says otherwise on single protein.

Consistent with the label

  • "Made without grain" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "no-grain formula" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

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

Limited: at least one claim contradicts the declared label, or a recent upheld ASA ruling applies.
