This is a medical nutrition decision. Speak to your vet.
This is a veterinary diet product: a "dietetic" feed designed for a particular nutritional purpose and intended for use under veterinary direction. The score and figures below are readings of the label, the same as for any other food: they can't tell you whether this product is right for your dog.

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
- "Frischer und bekömmlicher weißer Meeresfisch als Hauptbestandteil und einzige Proteinquelle" — supported by the declared single protein data.
- "Ohne Mais, Gluten, Soja, Geschmacksverstärkern & künstlichen Zusätzen (ausgenommen Vitamine & Mineralstoffe)" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
- "Getreidefrei" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
13 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.
