Our verdict
Is Fredfelia SENIOR Huhn a good dog food?
We score it 77/100 (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 senior dogs
- Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
- Doesn't list beef, turkey, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken heart
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists green-lipped mussel
- 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.

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 | 8.4 | 42.6 (band 19.64467005076142 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 3.9 | 19.8 (band 6.002538071065989 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 0.5 | 2.5 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 97.2 |
| Calcium | 0.17 | 0.9 (band 0.5456852791878172 to 2.5%) | 79.7 |
| Phosphorus | 0.12 | 0.6 (band 0.4365482233502538 to 1.6%) | 78.9 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.4 | 1.4 (band 1 to 2%) | 95 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 86 | 436.5 | 100 |
Scored over 7 declared nutrients (combined weight 90); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

High confidence: full analysis plus minerals or omegas and declared energy.
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 (98.3% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 19.7/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| 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.
0/100 · limited — 1 checkable claim: 0 consistent, 1 contradicted.
Contradicted by the label
- "Monoprotein" — the declared label says otherwise on single protein.
11 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.
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| geringerer Phosphorgehalt (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| höhere Konzentrationen an Zink, EPA und DHA aus Lachsöl und Grünlippmuschel zur Unterstützung der Organe und Gelenke (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
