Our verdict

Is WOW Minis Senior Ente mit Minze und Roter Rübe a good dog food?

We score it 53/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

How we score

Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.

42% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Why you might choose it

  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.
  • Declares energy content, which most labels omit.

Why you might not

  • Around 36% of the recipe is generic or unspecified ingredients.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 0% of the dry matter; carbohydrates dominate.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for senior dogs
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Doesn't list beef, lamb, venison, pork as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists poultry fat
  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists poultry fat
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists green-lipped mussel
  • Your dog avoids duck: the label lists duck
  • 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 reached 53 out of 100. The processing format contributed -6.7 points, and ingredients without printed percentages cost a further -4.5 points. On the positive side, the overall quality of the ingredient list added +4 points, with being labelled nutritionally complete contributing +2.3.

Scored with model v3 on 2026-10-25. Each component is the feature value for this product multiplied by the model's published coefficient.

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
Protein2325.4 (band 18 to 40%)90.2
Fat1112.2 (band 5.5 to 20%)97.5
Fibre33.3 (band 0.5 to 5%)100
Calcium1.651.8 (band 0.5 to 2.5%)100
Phosphorus11.1 (band 0.4 to 1.6%)100
Calcium:phosphorus ratio1.71.7 (band 1 to 2%)100
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)--100
Energy (kcal/100g)358395.6100

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: 8 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin A 15.000 IE
  • Vitamin D3 1.050 IE
  • Vitamin E 150 mg
  • Kupfer (als Kupfer-(II)-Sulfat, Pentahydrat) 7 mg
  • Mangan (als Mangan-(II)-Oxid) 9 mg
  • Zink (als Zinkoxid) 90 mg
  • Jod (als Calciumjodat, wasserfrei) 2,5 mg
  • L-Carnitin 500 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.

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 · moderate — 2 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "Hergestellt ohne: Getreide*, Soja, Gentechnik, künstliche Farb- & Aromastoffe, Zuckerzusatz" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "Natürliches Alleinfuttermittel für Hunde ab 10 Jahren" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
