Calibra VD Dog Semi-Moist Snack Hypoallergenic
Treat complementary Clear label
Is Calibra VD Dog Semi-Moist Snack Hypoallergenic a good dog food?
This is a treat, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a treat should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.
- RecipeNot applicable
- NutritionalNot applicable
- Transparency91
- Safety100
- Evidencelimited33
Complementary semi-moist dry treats for adult dogs, with salmon protein, peas and glycerine as the main ingredients.
Why you might choose it
- Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
- Single named animal protein: fish.
- Doesn't list grain ingredients.
Why you might not
- A treat, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
What the label tells us
- The label lists 13 ingredients.
- Names its animal sources (2 named ingredients).
- Every animal ingredient is a named source.
- Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
- Prints quantities for 7 ingredients.
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.
