our rating

Is Alpha Spirit Albóndigas de Pavo y Cilantro a good dog food?

We score it 59/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

How we score

Why this score?

The overall score is 59 out of 100. On the positive side, the recipe is labelled nutritionally complete, which contributed +2.3 points, and printing percentages for most of the recipe added +1. On the negative side, ingredients we could not classify reduced the score by -2.5, and ingredients without printed percentages cost another -2.1 points.

The Recipe score measures how attractive and transparent the declared ingredient list is. It is not, by itself, proof that the food is nutritionally appropriate for long-term feeding. The Nutritional and Evidence scores measure what we can verify towards that stronger claim.

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey

  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 22.7% 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. Use the homepage filter to 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.

Scored over 7 declared nutrients (combined weight 90); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Declared fortification: 3 nutritional additives on the label
  • vitamina A 1660 IU/kg
  • vitamina D 150 IU/kg
  • vitamina E 9,8 IU/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.

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 — 2 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "Este alimento completo para perro" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
  • "Sin cereales" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

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

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