Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs

Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated
Why this score?
The product received a score of 19 out of 100. Ingredients without printed percentages weighed against the score, contributing -10.6 points. The processing format reduced the score by -6.7, while the overall quality of the ingredient list and the presence of lower-quality ingredients knocked off a further -6.2 and -4.7 points respectively.
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 | 21.5 | 23.8 (band 18 to 40%) | 85.7 |
| Fat | 8.5 | 9.4 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 86.1 |
| Fibre | 3.4 | 3.8 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) | - | - | 100 |
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 100). The FEDIAF minimum for omega-6 is linoleic acid specifically.
Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.
Declared fortification: 9 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A 15000 IU
- Vitamin D3 2750 IU
- Vitamin E 100 mg
- Iron as Iron (II) Sulphate Monohydrate 50 mg
- Zinc as Zinc Oxide 100 mg
- Copper as Copper (II) Sulphate Pentahydrate 15 mg
- Manganese as Manganese (II) Oxide 20 mg
- Iodine as Calcium Iodate Anhydrous 2 mg
- Selenium as Sodium Selenite 0.1 mg
Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture 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 (voluntary) - not on file | 0/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) - not on file | 0/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) - not on file | 0/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |

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

| supports everyday health while helping dogs maintain a healthy weight and condition (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| contribute to healthy skin, a shiny coat, and overall wellbeing (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| formulated without artificial colours or preservatives (on page) | Free-from | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
