Is Alpha Spirit Semi-Moist Poultry 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.
Why this score?
The overall score is 61 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.

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.

Score history across model versions
The score shown above is always computed with the latest published model. Earlier scores are kept for the record and are never edited or deleted; a scoring change ships as a new model version with a public write-up on the methodology page.
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.
| Nutrient | As fed (label) | Dry matter (scored) | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 28.5 | 38 (band 19.559999999999995 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 14 | 18.7 (band 5.976666666666666 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 2 | 2.7 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 98.9 |
| Calcium | 1.3 | 1.7 (band 0.5433333333333332 to 2.5%) | 100 |
| Phosphorus | 1.1 | 1.5 (band 0.4346666666666666 to 1.6%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.2 | 1.2 (band 1 to 2%) | 80.9 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 326 | 434.7 | 100 |
Scored over 7 declared nutrients (combined weight 90); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
Declared fortification: 3 nutritional additives on the label
- Hierro: 62 mg/kg
- Glucosamina: 3930 mg/kg
- Taurina: 2680 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.
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (85% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 17/20 |
| 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 |

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 — 5 checkable claims: 5 consistent, 0 contradicted.
Consistent with the label
- "ALIMENTO COMPLETO PARA PERROS" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
- "Libre de cereales" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
- "libre de gluten" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
- "no contiene granos ni gluten" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
- "Sin cereales, Sin gluten, Sin extrusión, Sin harinas cárnicas" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
4 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.
