Who is this food for?

Suits

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

Consider something else if:

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.

NutrientAs fed (label)Dry matter (scored)Score
Protein3235.4 (band 18 to 40%)100
Fat99.9 (band 5.5 to 20%)88.4
Fibre33.3 (band 0.5 to 5%)100

Scored over 3 declared nutrients (combined weight 50); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Declared fortification: 1 nutritional additive on the label
  • Vitamin a 15000 IU, Vitamin D3 2000 IU, Vitamin E 50 IU, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 3mg, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 8mg, Vitamin B6 5mg, Vitamin B12 40mcg, Vitamin C 50mg, Vitamin K 2mg, Zinc 100mg, Manganese 80mg, Copper 15mg, Iron 30mg.

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.

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

  • "Suitable for dogs avoiding gluten, rice and grains" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

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