veterinary diet
This is a medical nutrition decision. Speak to your vet.
This is a veterinary diet product: a "dietetic" feed designed for a particular nutritional purpose and intended for use under veterinary direction. The score and figures below are readings of the label, the same as for any other food: they can't tell you whether this product is right for your dog.

Dry Extruded · completeveterinary dietHigh meat
Our verdict
Is TrovetPlus Urinary Struvite a good dog food?
We score it 61/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.
Complete extruded dry food for adult dogs, with chicken, rice and peas as the main ingredients.
Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.
46% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.
Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
- Doesn't list beef, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists hydrolysed poultry liver
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists fish oil
- 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. Find foods that fit your dog.

Score details and methodologyCalculations, history and evidence
Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated
Why this score?
The product reached an overall score of 61 out of 100. The processing format pulled the score down by -6.7 points, while the overall quality of the ingredient list added +5. Ingredients without printed percentages cost another -4.9 points, and the meat content contributed +2.9 points in the other direction. This is a general explanation of how the score works, not veterinary advice. For any health condition, food choice is a decision for your vet.
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 | 24 | 26.5 (band 19.765193370165747 to 40%) | 90 |
| Fat | 18 | 19.9 (band 6.039364640883979 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 2.3 | 2.5 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 97.2 |
| Calcium | 0.8 | 0.9 (band 0.5490331491712708 to 2.5%) | 80.3 |
| Phosphorus | 0.6 | 0.7 (band 0.4392265193370166 to 1.6%) | 81.6 |
| Sodium | 0.3 | 0.3 (band 0.10980662983425415+%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.3 | 1.3 (band 1 to 2%) | 90 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 397.5 | 439.2 | 100 |
Scored over 8 declared nutrients (combined weight 95); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.
Declared fortification: 10 nutritional additives on the label
- vitamin A 25,000 IU/kg
- vitamin D3 2000 IU/kg
- vitamin E 150 mg/kg
- vitamin C 200 mg/kg
- iron (ferrous chelate of amino acids, hydrated) 36 mg/kg
- iodine (potassium iodide) 2.80 mg/kg
- copper (cupric chelate of amino acids, hydrated) 6 mg/kg
- manganese (manganous chelate of amino acids, hydrated) 32 mg/kg
- zinc (zinc chelate of amino acids, hydrated) 100 mg/kg
- selenium (L-selenomethionine) 0.20 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 (54% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 10.8/20 |
| 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) - not on file | 0/10 |
| 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.

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.
Claims on file; none we can check against the label
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freshly prepared chicken 54% (we use 90 kg of freshly prepared chicken to produce 100 kg of our product) (on pack) | provenance | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Designed to reduce urine pH, support the dissolution of struvite crystals, and decrease the recurrence of their formation (on pack) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| A slightly elevated sodium level promotes water intake and, consequently, greater urine dilution, which in turn reduces the precipitation of crystals in the kidneys and bladder (on pack) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| flaxseeds (natural source of omega-3 fatty acids) (on pack) | Nutrient | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Complete dietetic food for adult dogs (on pack) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Low grain (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
