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 | 29 | 32 (band 18 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 13 | 14.4 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 5.9 | 6.5 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Calcium | 0.8 | 0.9 (band 0.5 to 2.5%) | 81.5 |
| Phosphorus | 0.8 | 0.9 (band 0.4 to 1.6%) | 94.2 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1 | 1 (band 1 to 2%) | 70 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 337 | 372.4 | 100 |
Scored over 7 declared nutrients (combined weight 90); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.
Declared fortification: 11 nutritional additives on the label
- Kupfer (Kupfer(II)-sulfat-Monohydrat) 10 mg/kg
- Zink (Zinksulfat, Monohydrat) 100 mg/kg
- Eisen (Eisen(II)-sulfat, Monohydrat) 50 mg/kg
- Mangan (Mangan(II)-oxid) 50 mg/kg
- Jod (Calciumjodat, wasserfrei) 2.0 mg/kg
- Selen (Natriumselenit) 0.1 mg/kg
- Vitamin A 18.000 IE/kg
- Vitamin D3 1.800 IE/kg
- Vitamin E 500 IE/kg
- L-Carnitin 150 mg/kg
- Taurin 1.000 mg/kg
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.
| 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) | 10/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) | 5/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 10/10 |
