Feeding and storage

Storage

Dachshund Superfood Premium Pate Wet Trays can be kept at room temperature for up to 12 months (but away from heat sources such as sunlight and radiators) until opened. Once opened the trays should be refrigerated and used within 2-3 days. The trays are also safe to freeze.

Feeding guide

If you want to feed 50% Superfood Kibble, 50% wet, use the feeding guidelines for each and provide half as much daily. If you want to feed 75% Superfood Kibble, 25% wet, use the feeding guidelines for each and calculate how much 75% would be for providing dry and 25% of the feeding guidelines for our wet food trays.

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
Protein9.535.2 (band 18 to 40%)100
Fat829.6 (band 5.5 to 20%)100
Fibre0.51.9 (band 0.5 to 5%)88

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

Declared fortification: 9 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin A 2,250 IU
  • Vitamin D3 328 IU
  • Vitamin E 26mg
  • Zinc sulphate monohydrate 66.7mg
  • Iron sulphate monohydrate 41.7mg
  • Copper sulphate penta hydrate 9.6mg
  • Manganese sulphate 6.25mg
  • Calcium iodate anhydrous 0.714mg
  • Sodium selenite 0.089mg

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 — 2 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "Grain free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "contain no wheat or ‘derivatives’, no added salt, sugar, or soy, are gluten free and/or grain free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

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