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 | 27 | 122.7 (band 18 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 15.4 | 70 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 3.1 | 14.1 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 23.9 |
| Calcium | 1.4 | 6.4 (band 0.5 to 2.5%) | 0 |
| Phosphorus | 0.7 | 3.2 (band 0.4 to 1.6%) | 1.1 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 2 | 2 (band 1 to 2%) | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 376 | 1709.1 | 100 |

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 (100% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 20/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) - not on file | 0/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) | 5/5 |

| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 5/10 |

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
- "Complete dry food for adult dogs" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
- "mono-protein dry dog food with fresh beef as the main ingredient" — supported by the declared single protein data.
- "grain-free recipes" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
4 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.
