Boil & Broth Beef Tallow

Beef Tallow
This is sold as a topper, not as an everyday meal. The 1–100 rating applies to complete meals, so it isn't scored. Ingredient breakdown below.

Our verdict

Is Boil & Broth Beef Tallow a good dog food?

This is a topper, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a topper should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.

Complementary wet paté food topper for dogs of all life stages, made from beef fat.

How we score

Why you might choose it

  • Single named animal protein: beef.
  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.

Why you might not

  • A topper, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 0% of the dry matter; carbohydrates dominate.
  • No analytical breakdown is published.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Single named protein: beef
  • Doesn't list chicken, turkey, lamb, fish, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

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.

What the label tells us

  • Single-ingredient product: the label lists one ingredient.
  • Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
  • Prints no ingredient quantities.
Why is this treat not scored?

Our 1 to 100 rating applies to complete diets, so treats and complementary foods are presented as what the label tells us rather than a number that would invite comparison with complete meals.

What should I look for on a treat label?

A short ingredient list, named animal sources instead of generic terms, and no artificial colours or preservatives. Printed quantities are a good transparency signal, though few treat labels provide them.

These points are derived from the published ingredient list, not a rating.

Contributions are rounded to two decimals, so they may not sum exactly to the subtotal. The full coefficient table is published on the methodology page.

This is not a complete diet, so the 1-100 rating does not apply to it. Read the recipe breakdown above as ingredient-quality context only.

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.

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 · moderate — 1 checkable claim: 1 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "100% Beef Tallow" — supported by the declared single protein data.

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

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