Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
- Doesn't list beef, lamb, fish, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists poultry heart
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists poultry heart
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists oat flakes
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
- You are limiting fat: 30.4% 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 | 11.2 | 48.7 (band 21.52173913043478 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 7 | 30.4 (band 6.576086956521739 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 0.6 | 2.6 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 98.1 |
| Calcium | 0.22 | 1 (band 0.5978260869565217 to 2.5%) | 81.3 |
| Phosphorus | 0.17 | 0.7 (band 0.4782608695652174 to 1.6%) | 84 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.3 | 1.3 (band 1 to 2%) | 87.6 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 110 | 478.3 | 100 |
Scored over 7 declared nutrients (combined weight 90); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
Declared fortification: 6 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin D3 200 IU
- Vitamin E (all-rac-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) 30 mg
- Biotin 300 mcg
- Zinc (zinc sulphate, monohydrate) 15 mg
- Manganese (manganese(II) sulphate, monohydrate) 3 mg
- Iodine (calcium iodate, anhydrous) 0.75 mg
High confidence: full analysis plus minerals or omegas and declared energy.
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 (67% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 13.4/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| 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 |
