How we score

Why you might choose it

  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.

Why you might not

We found no significant drawbacks in the data we hold for this product.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Doesn't list chicken, turkey, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids beef: the label lists beef tripe
  • Your dog avoids lamb: the label lists dried lamb protein
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon
  • 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 is 71 out of 100. The overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +7.5 points, and the meat content added +5.9 points. Being labelled nutritionally complete added +2.3 points. However, the processing format reduced the score by -6.7 points.

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.

Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)--100
Energy (kcal/100g)369.5401.6100

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.

Declared fortification: 7 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin A 14,423 IU
  • Vitamin D3 1,346 IU
  • Vitamin E 96 IU
  • Zinc (Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate) 48 mg
  • Iron (Iron (II) Sulphate Monohydrate) 48 mg
  • Manganese (Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate) 34 mg
  • Iodine (Calcium Iodate Anhydrous) 0.96 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.

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.

100/100 · moderate — 1 checkable claim: 1 consistent, 0 contradicted.
