We score it 65/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.
Why this score?
This recipe achieves a total score of 65 out of 100. The processing format contributed -6.7 to the overall score, while the carbohydrate content added -3.6. On the positive side, the overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +6.3, and the meat content added +3.7.
Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.
29% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

The Recipe score measures how attractive and transparent the declared ingredient list is. It is not, by itself, proof that the food is nutritionally appropriate for long-term feeding. The Nutritional and Evidence scores measure what we can verify towards that stronger claim.
Complete extruded dry food for adult dogs, with dried chicken protein, turkey and rice as the main ingredients.

Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
- Doesn't list beef, lamb, venison, pork as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists dried chicken protein
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists fish oil
- Your dog avoids duck: the label lists duck
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists rice - white
- 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. Use the homepage filter to 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.
| Nutrient | As fed (label) | Dry matter (scored) | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 28 | 30.9 (band 18.795580110497234 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 17 | 18.8 (band 5.7430939226519335 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 4 | 4.4 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Calcium | 1.7 | 1.9 (band 0.5220994475138121 to 2.5%) | 100 |
| Phosphorus | 1.2 | 1.3 (band 0.4176795580110497 to 1.6%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.4 | 1.4 (band 1 to 2%) | 95 |
| Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) | - | - | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 378 | 417.7 | 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. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.
Declared fortification: 9 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A 20,000 IU/kg
- Vitamin D3 1,800 IU/kg
- Vitamin E 200 mg/kg
- Vitamin C 75 mg/kg
- Iron (iron (II) amino acid chelate, hydrated) 45 mg/kg
- Copper (copper (II) amino acid chelate, hydrated) 7 mg/kg
- Manganese (manganese amino acid chelate, hydrated) 15 mg/kg
- Zinc (zinc amino acid chelate, hydrated) 85 mg/kg
- Selenium (selenized yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R397, inactivated, selenium yeast complex) 0.2 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 (71.4% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 14.3/20 |
| 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) | 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 (Analytical constituents declared, 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.
See all current recalls we track.
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 — 1 checkable claim: 0 consistent, 1 contradicted.
Contradicted by the label
- "protein-rich blend" — the declared label says otherwise on high protein.
4 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.
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| protein-rich blend (on page) | High/low level | contradicted | Manufacturer assertion |
| Low grain (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| includes high-quality turkey, chicken, and duck (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| healthy probiotics that support digestion (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| contains chondroitin and glucosamine to help maintain strong bones and joints (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
