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	17	56.3 (band 18 to 40%)	100
Fat	10.5	34.8 (band 5.5 to 20%)	100
Calcium	0.25	0.8 (band 0.5 to 2.5%)	79.8
Phosphorus	0.19	0.6 (band 0.4 to 1.6%)	81.5
Calcium:phosphorus ratio	1.3	1.3 (band 1 to 2%)	88.9

Scored over 5 declared nutrients (combined weight 70); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Declared fortification: 7 nutritional additives on the label

Zinksulfat, Monohydrat - Zn 17,3 mg
Eisen(II)-sulfat-Monohydrat - Fe 9 mg
Mangan(II)-sulfat-Monohydrat - Mn 2,1 mg
Kupfer(II)-sulfat-Pentahydrat - Cu 1,5 mg
Kalziumjodat, wasserfrei - I 0,4 mg
Vitamin A 2320 IU
Vitamin D3 300 IU

Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture 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.
