Our verdict

Is Manufaktur für gesundes Hundefutter Premium Trockenfutter Welpe – Junior a good dog food?

We score it 61/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

How we score

Why you might choose it

  • Scores 61, in the top quarter of dry foods we track.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 38% of the dry matter (26% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.

Why you might not

  • Around 31% of the recipe is generic or unspecified ingredients.
  • High in fat: 21% fat on a dry-matter basis.

Who is this food for?

Suits

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

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists poultry
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists fish and fish by-products
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 21.1% 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 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.

Scored over 6 declared nutrients (combined weight 80); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Declared fortification: 8 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin A 18.000 IE/kg
  • Vitamin D3 1260 IE/kg
  • Vitamin E 180 mg/kg
  • 3b405 Kupfer 7 mg/kg

  • 3b202 Jod 2,35 mg/kg
  • Taurin 1000 mg/kg

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.

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 · moderate — 1 checkable claim: 1 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "ohne Zusatz von Getreide, Soja, Milchprodukten" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

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

Moderate: every checkable claim is consistent with the declared label.
