Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges
How the declared analysis compares with FEDIAF reference ranges for puppies and growth. 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.
Scored against FEDIAF growth minima; puppy scoring is under review.
| Nutrient | As fed (label) | Dry matter (scored) | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 26 | 31.7 | 100 |
| Fat | 15 | 18.3 | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 369 | 450 | 100 |
Scored over 3 declared nutrients (combined weight 50); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
Declared fortification: 18 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A 15000 IE
- Vitamin B1 10 mg/kg
- Vitamin B2 10 mg/kg
- Vitamin B6 5 mg/kg
- Vitamin B12 100 mcg/kg
- Vitamin C 60 mg
- Vitamin D3 1200 IE
- Vitamin E 150 mg
- Zink (als Zinkoxid) 90 mg
- Jod (als Calciumjodat, wasserfrei) 2 mg
- Selen (als Natriumselenit) 0,2 mg
- Kupfer (als Kupfer(II)-sulfat Pentahydrat) 10 mg
- Zink (als Aminosäuren-Zinkchelat, Hydrat) 45 mg
- Pantothensäure 15 mg/kg
- Niacin 30 mg/kg
- Folsäure 2 mg/kg
- Cholinchlorid 1975 mg/kg
- Biotin 500 mcg/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 (40.8% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 8.2/20 |
| 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.
100/100 · strong — 3 checkable claims: 3 consistent, 0 contradicted.
Consistent with the label
- "Ohne Zusatz von Getreide oder Zucker: Keine unnötigen Füllstoffe" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
- "Hoher Fleischanteil: Monoprotein - Lamm als einzige tierische Proteinquelle" — supported by the declared single protein data.
- "Wir setzen auf eine getreidefreie Rezeptur" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
7 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.
Strong: at least three checkable claims, all consistent with the declared label, and no compliance cap.
