Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
- Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
- Doesn't list beef, lamb, fish, venison, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists poultry fat
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
- Your dog avoids pork: the label lists wild boar
- 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 74 out of 100. The meat content contributed +7.3 points and the overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +6.7 points, both lifting the result. The processing format reduced the score by -6.7 points, while being labelled nutritionally complete added +2.3 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.

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.
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 | 33 | 35.9 (band 18.63586956521739 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 17 | 18.5 (band 5.694293478260869 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 3 | 3.3 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Calcium | 1.9 | 2.1 (band 0.5176630434782609 to 2.5%) | 100 |
| Phosphorus | 1.7 | 1.8 (band 0.4141304347826087 to 1.6%) | 84.5 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.1 | 1.1 (band 1 to 2%) | 77.1 |
| Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) | - | - | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 381 | 414.1 | 100 |
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 100). The FEDIAF minimum for omega-6 is linoleic acid specifically.
Scored over 8 declared nutrients (combined weight 100); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
Declared fortification: 9 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A 14,423 IU
- Vitamin D3 2,000 IU
- Vitamin E 96 IU
- Zinc (Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate) 48 mg
- Iron (Iron (II) Sulphate Monohydrate) 48 mg
- Manganese (Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate) 34 mg
- Copper (Copper (II) Sulphate Pentahydrate) 12 mg
- Iodine (Calcium Iodate Anhydrous) 0.96 mg
- Selenium (Sodium Selenite) 0.19 mg
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.
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (98% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 19.6/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) | 5/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) - not on file | 0/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Feeding guidance given, Batch and date labelling).
Safety: recall history
Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.
No recalls recorded in our database.

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 · strong — 4 checkable claims: 4 consistent, 0 contradicted.
Consistent with the label
- "complete ADULT dog pet food" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
- "Made in Great Britain, from the finest ingredients" — supported by the declared made in the UK data.
- "Naturally Hypoallergenic, formulated without Grain, Gluten, Dairy, Egg or White Potato" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
- "high in protein" — supported by the declared high protein data.
1 further claim on file that we cannot check against the label.
Strong: at least three checkable claims, all consistent with the declared label, and no compliance cap.
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| complete ADULT dog pet food (on pack) | Content | consistent | Manufacturer assertion |
| Made in Great Britain, from the finest ingredients (on pack) | provenance | consistent | Manufacturer assertion |
