Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for puppies

  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists seafood
  • Your dog avoids pork: the label lists pork
  • Your dog avoids duck: the label lists duck
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 20.0% 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.

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 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.

NutrientAs fed (label)Dry matter (scored)Score
Protein29.539.3100
Fat1520100
Calcium1.21.6100
Phosphorus1.11.5100
Calcium:phosphorus ratio1.11.1100
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)--100
Energy (kcal/100g)330.8441.1100

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

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

Declared fortification: 4 nutritional additives on the label
  • Glucosamina: 3930 mg/kg
  • Taurina: 2680 mg/kg
  • Ácidos grasos poliinsaturados omega-3 EPA+DHA: 1790 mg/kg
  • Hierro: 62 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.

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 — 4 checkable claims: 4 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "Libre de cereales" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "libre de gluten" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "Sin cereales" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "Sin gluten" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

7 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.
