Who is this food for?

Suits

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

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein

These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Find foods that fit your dog.

Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated

Why this score?

The overall score is 71 out of 100. The overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +7.2 points, and the meat content added +6.1 points. Being labelled nutritionally complete added +2.3 points. However, the processing format reduced the score by -6.7 points.

Scored with model v3 on 2026-10-25. Each component is the feature value for this product multiplied by the model's published coefficient.

Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges

How the declared analysis compares with FEDIAF reference ranges for puppies and growth. 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.

Scored against FEDIAF growth minima; puppy scoring is under review.

Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 100, omega-3 100). The FEDIAF minimum for omega-6 is linoleic acid specifically.

Scored over 7 declared nutrients (combined weight 90); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Declared fortification: 9 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin A 15,000 IU/kg
  • Vitamin D3 2,000 IU/kg
  • Vitamin E 95 IU/kg
  • Zinc (Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate) 50 mg/kg
  • Iron (Iron (II) Sulphate Monohydrate) 50 mg/kg
  • Manganese (Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate) 35 mg/kg
  • Copper (Copper (II) Sulphate Pentahydrate) 15 mg/kg
  • Iodine (Calcium Iodate Anhydrous) 1 mg/kg
  • Selenium (Sodium Selenite) 0.3 mg/kg

High confidence: full analysis plus minerals or omegas and declared energy.

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.

✓ Ingredient list on the label (mandatory)10/10
✓ Printed percentages on the label (82% of the recipe mass) (voluntary)16.4/20

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.
