Our verdict
Is Arden Grange Sensitive Puppy/Junior Grainfree Ocean White Fish & Potato a good dog food?
We score it 77/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.
Complete raw food for puppies, with white fish, sweet potatoes and potatoes as the main ingredients.
Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.
28% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.
Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for puppies
- Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
- Doesn't list beef, turkey, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken oil and fat
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists white fish
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
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.

Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated
Why this score?
The overall score is 77 out of 100. The overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +7.5 points, and the meat content contributed +4 points. Ingredients without printed percentages reduced the score by -3, while being labelled nutritionally complete added +2.3 points.
Scored with model v3 on 2026-10-25. Each component is the feature value for this product multiplied by the model's published coefficient.

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.
| Nutrient | As fed (label) | Dry matter (scored) | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 29 | 94.2 | 100 |
| Fat | 15 | 48.7 | 100 |
| Calcium | 1.6 | 5.2 | 0 |
| Phosphorus | 1 | 3.2 | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.6 | 1.6 | 100 |
Scored over 5 declared nutrients (combined weight 70); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 69.2% from the food type.
Declared fortification: 9 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A (as Retinyl Acetate) 21000IU
- Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol) 1575IU
- Vitamin E (as all-rac-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate) 280mg
- Taurine 1200mg
- L-Carnitine 100mg
- Zinc (as Zinc Chelate of Amino Acids, Hydrate) 105mg
- Copper (as Copper (II) Chelate of Amino Acids, Hydrate) 9.3mg
- Manganese (as Manganese Chelate of Amino Acid Hydrate) 7mg
- Iodine (as Calcium Iodate, Anhydrous) 1.75mg
Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture 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.
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (72% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 14.4/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) - not on file | 0/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) - not on file | 0/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) - not on file | 0/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Analytical constituents declared, Feeding guidance given, Batch and date labelling).

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
- "grain free recipe" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
1 further claim on file that we cannot check against the label.
Moderate: every checkable claim is consistent with the declared label.
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |

| high in omega-3 fatty acids (on page) | High/low level | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| grain free recipe (on page) | Free-from | consistent | Manufacturer assertion |
