Our verdict
Is Lenda Urban Light a good dog food?
We score it 57/100 (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 oil and fat, dried pork and beef protein and hemoglobin as the main ingredients.
Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.
63% 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 lamb, venison, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists hydrolysed chicken
- Your dog avoids beef: the label lists dried pork and beef protein
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists poultry fat
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists fish oil
- Your dog avoids pork: the label lists dried pork and beef protein
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists maize / corn
- 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?
This recipe achieves an overall score of 57 out of 100 based on several key factors. The overall quality of the ingredient list adds +5.4 points. Conversely, the oil and fat content reduces the score by -2.8, the processing format takes off -6.7, and ingredients without printed percentages deduct -6.7.
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 18 to 40%) | 93.2 |
| Fat | 9 | 9.9 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 88.4 |
| Fibre | 6 | 6.6 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Calcium | 1.7 | 1.9 (band 0.5 to 2.5%) | 100 |
| Phosphorus | 1 | 1.1 (band 0.4 to 1.6%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.7 | 1.7 (band 1 to 2%) | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 320.9 | 354.6 | 100 |
Scored over 7 declared nutrients (combined weight 90); 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
- Vitamina A 10000 UI/Kg
- Vitamina D3 1500 UI/Kg
- Vitamina E (acetato de todo-rac-α-Tocoferilo) 110 mg/Kg
- Manganeso (como óxido de manganeso (II))(3b502) 44,5 mg/Kg
- Hierro (como quelato de hierro (II) de aminoácido hidratado)(3b106) 95 mg/Kg
- Cobre (como quelato de cobre de aminoácido hidratado)(3b406) 13 mg/Kg
- Yodo (como Yoduro de potasio)(3b201) 2,2 mg/Kg
- Selenio (como Selenito de sodio)(3b801) 0,33 mg/Kg
- Zinc (como Quelato de Zinc de aminoácido hidratado)(3b606) 110 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 (37% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 7.4/20 |
| 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) - not on file | 0/10 |
| 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, Feeding guidance given, 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
- "sin trigo y sin conservantes químicos" — the declared label says otherwise on grain-free.
3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ayuda a mantener un peso ideal y una vida más saludable (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| sin trigo y sin conservantes químicos (on page) | Free-from | contradicted | Manufacturer assertion |
| Fórmula natural elaborada con diferentes carnes y vegetales de sabor suave (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| BAJO CONTENIDO EN GRASA (9%) (on page) | High/low level | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
