Our verdict

Is Vet-Concept Sensitive Diet Gans a good dog food?

We score it 32/100 (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

Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.

73% 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.
  • Declares energy content, which most labels omit.
  • Nutritionally complete: formulated to be fed as the whole diet.

Why you might not

  • 3 poor-graded ingredients make up about 44% of the recipe.
  • Around 21% of the recipe is generic or unspecified ingredients.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 0% of the dry matter; carbohydrates dominate.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
  • Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, fish, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids grain: the label lists cereals

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.

NutrientAs fed (label)Dry matter (scored)Score
Protein22.825.2 (band 18 to 40%)89.6

Calcium:phosphorus ratio1.41.4 (band 1 to 2%)93.3
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)--100
Energy (kcal/100g)362400100

Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 100). The FEDIAF minimum for omega-6 is linoleic acid specifically.

Scored over 9 declared nutrients (combined weight 105); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.

Declared fortification: 10 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin A 12.000 IE/kg
  • Vitamin D3 1.200 IE/kg
  • Vitamin E 120 mg/kg (all rac-alpha-Tocopherylacetat)
  • Taurin 1.000 mg/kg
  • Zink (Zinkoxid, Aminosäure-Zinkchelat, Hydrat) 100 mg/kg
  • Kupfer (Kupfer(II)sulfat, Pentahydrat) 10 mg/kg
  • Mangan (Mangan(II)oxid) 15 mg/kg
  • Jod (Kalziumjodat, wasserfrei) 2 mg/kg
  • Selen (Natriumselenit) 0,16 mg/kg
  • DL-Methionin 1.000 mg/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.

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

  • "Alleinfuttermittel für adulte Hunde" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.

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

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