Our verdict

Is Fleischeslust Juicy beef with cottage cheese & courgette a good dog food?

We score it 79/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

Complete wet food in chunks for puppies, with beef, courgette and cottage cheese as the main ingredients.

How we score

Declared analysis sits below the FEDIAF minimum for calcium, phosphorus.

Why you might choose it

  • Scores 84, in the top quarter of wet foods we track.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 84% of the dry matter (82% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.

Why you might not

  • High in fat: 28% fat on a dry-matter basis.

Who is this food for?

Suits

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

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids beef: the label lists beef
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon oil
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 28.4% on a dry-matter basis is in the high band

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.

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.

NutrientAs fed (label)Dry matter (scored)Score
Protein1345.6100
Fat8.128.4100
Calcium0.270.966.3
Phosphorus0.210.757.3
Calcium:phosphorus ratio1.31.3100

Scored over 5 declared nutrients (combined weight 70); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

No nutritional additives section declared on the label.

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.

Safety: recall history

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.

0/100 · limited — 2 checkable claims: 0 consistent, 2 contradicted.

Contradicted by the label

  • "consists of just one animal protein source: 75% of the finest beef meat and offal" — the declared label says otherwise on single protein.
  • "Zucchinis are high in fiber" — the declared label says otherwise on high fibre.

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

Limited: at least one claim contradicts the declared label, or a recent upheld ASA ruling applies.
