Doesn't list grain ingredients.
High in protein: 33% protein on a dry-matter basis.

Why you might not

Around 27% of the recipe is generic or unspecified ingredients.

Who is this food for?

Suits

Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
Doesn't list beef, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists dehydrated poultry proteins
Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists dehydrated poultry proteins
Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon
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?

This recipe achieves an overall rating of 43 out of 100 based on several key factors. The overall quality of the ingredient list adds +3.1 points to the total. However, the processing format subtracts -6.7 points, and ingredients without printed percentages deduct -6.4 points. Additionally, the carbohydrate content contributes -1.7 points to the final assessment.

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 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	30	33.3 (band 18 to 40%)	100
Fat	14	15.6 (band 5.5 to 20%)	100
Fibre	2.5	2.8 (band 0.5 to 5%)	100
Calcium	1	1.1 (band 0.5 to 2.5%)	88.3
Phosphorus	0.9	1 (band 0.4 to 1.6%)	100
Calcium:phosphorus ratio	1.1	1.1 (band 1 to 2%)	76.7

Scored over 6 declared nutrients (combined weight 80); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

No nutritional additives section declared on the label.

Medium confidence: the full five-part analysis is on file; where moisture was not declared it was 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 (39.6% of the recipe mass) (voluntary)	7.9/20
✓ Analytical constituents declared (mandatory)	15/15
✗ Additives declared (mandatory) - not on file	0/10
✗ 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)	5/10
✓ Country of manufacture stated (voluntary)	10/10
✗ Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file	0/5

Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Additives 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.
