Our verdict

Is Marleybones Supplements and Oils a good dog food?

This is a supplement, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a supplement should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.

Complementary supplement for dogs of all life stages, with natural flavour and science as the main ingredients.

Final score

Contributions are rounded to two decimals, so they may not sum exactly to the subtotal. The full coefficient table is published on the methodology page.

This is not a complete diet, so the 1-100 rating does not apply to it. Read the recipe breakdown above as ingredient-quality context only.

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.

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 · strong — 4 checkable claims: 4 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "Produced in the UK with plastic-free packaging." — supported by the declared made in the UK data.
  • "Zero buckwheat and grains" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "Grain-free." — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "Handmade in the UK" — supported by the declared made in the UK data.

32 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.

Strong: at least three checkable claims, all consistent with the declared label, and no compliance cap.
