Our verdict

Is Green Pantry Gut Health & Digestive Care Fresh Food a good dog food?

We score it 76/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

Complete wet food in chunks for dogs of all life stages, with turkey, carrots and pumpkin as the main ingredients.

How we score

Why you might choose it

  • Scores 76, in the top quarter of wet foods we track.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 60% of the dry matter (61% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.

Why you might not

  • High in fat: 27% fat on a dry-matter basis.

Who is this food for?

Suits

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

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
  • You are limiting fat: 27.2% 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 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
Protein10.131.6 (band 18 to 40%)100
Fat8.727.2 (band 5.5 to 20%)100
Fibre2.37.2 (band 0.5 to 5%)100

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

Declared fortification: 7 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin A 2500 IU
  • Vitamin D3 250 IU
  • Vitamin E 20 IU
  • Zinc 32.5 mg
  • Manganese 15 mg
  • Copper 2.5 mg
  • Iodine 0.5 mg

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.

100/100 · strong — 3 checkable claims: 3 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "Naturally high in fibre" — supported by the declared high fibre data.
  • "This recipe is fully hypoallergenic, made without grains, dairy, soya, or other common allergens." — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "Made without grains, dairy, soya, or other common allergens" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

3 further claims 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.
