Country Pursuit Wheat Free Hypoallergenic Dog Mixer
Topper complementary Clear label
Is Country Pursuit Wheat Free Hypoallergenic Dog Mixer a good dog food?
This is a topper, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a topper should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.
Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.
90% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Complementary extruded dry food topper for dogs of all life stages, with barley, peas and oats as the main ingredients.
Why you might choose it
- Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
- Low in fat for its format: 7% fat on a dry-matter basis.
Why you might not
- A topper, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
- Low in protein: 13% protein on a dry-matter basis.
- Meat makes up an estimated 0% of the dry matter; carbohydrates dominate.
What the label tells us
- The label lists 16 ingredients.
- Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
- Prints quantities for 3 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.

- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists poultry fat
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists poultry fat
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists barley
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
- You need more protein than this: 13.0% on a dry-matter basis is in the low band

Contributions are rounded to two decimals, so they may not sum exactly to the subtotal. The full coefficient table is published on the methodology page.
This is not a complete diet, so the 1-100 rating does not apply to it. Read the recipe breakdown above as ingredient-quality context only.
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.
| Model | Score | |
|---|---|---|
| v2 | 51/100 | current |
| v1 | 55/100 | |
| v1.9 | 54/100 |
Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges
Not applicable to complementary food. FEDIAF reference ranges apply to complete diets.
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 (10.2% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 2/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) - not on file | 0/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| 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) | 10/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Analytical constituents declared, Feeding guidance given, Batch and date labelling).
