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 | 10 | 43.5 (band 20.543478260869563 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 6 | 26.1 (band 6.2771739130434785 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 0.6 | 2.6 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 98.1 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 105 | 456.5 | 100 |
Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
Declared fortification: 4 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin D3: 200 IU
- Zinc: 25mg
- Manganese: 1.4mg
- Iodine: 0.75mg
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 (98% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 19.6/20 |
| 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 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Batch and date labelling).
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.
Claims on file; none we can check against the label
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grain-free recipe with papaya, broccoli, amaranth, blackcurrant and ginger (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| 55% venison with 30.7% venison broth (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Gently cooked to help retain its natural flavour and nutrients (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| No refrigeration needed before opening (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| No vague "meat and animal derivatives" - the venison and broth are clearly named (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
