Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
- Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
- Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, fish, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids venison: the label lists venison
- Your dog avoids pork: the label lists ham
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
- You are limiting fat: 31.7% on a dry-matter basis is in the high band
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 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 | 10.4 | 45.2 (band 22.304347826086953 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 7.3 | 31.7 (band 6.815217391304346 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 0.4 | 1.7 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 86.5 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 114 | 495.7 | 100 |
Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
Declared fortification: 6 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin D3 200 IU/kg
- Vitamin E 20 mg/kg
- Zinc Chelate of Amino Acids Hydrate 25 mg/kg
- Copper (II) Chelate of Amino Acids Hydrate 1 mg/kg
- Manganese Chelate of Amino Acids Hydrate 1.4 mg/kg
- Calcium Iodate 0.75 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 (70.1% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 14/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| 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) | 10/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Batch and date labelling).
Safety: recall history

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.
50/100 · limited — 2 checkable claims: 1 consistent, 1 contradicted.
Contradicted by the label
- "fibre-packed" — the declared label says otherwise on high fibre.
Consistent with the label
- "protein-rich" — supported by the declared high protein data.
2 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nutritionally complete (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| protein-rich, lean venison sausage meat, succulent ham, egg, fibre-packed haricot beans and sprinkle of parsley (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| fibre-packed (on page) | High/low level | contradicted | Manufacturer assertion |
| protein-rich (on page) | High/low level | consistent | Manufacturer assertion |
