Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
- Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
- Doesn't list beef, lamb, venison, pork as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists poultry fat
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon
- Your dog avoids duck: the label lists duck
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
- You are limiting fat: 28.3% 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 | 24 | 26.1 (band 21.105978260869563 to 40%) | 85.8 |
| Fat | 26 | 28.3 (band 6.4490489130434785 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 2.5 | 2.7 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 99.6 |
| Calcium | 1.7 | 1.8 (band 0.5862771739130435 to 2.5%) | 100 |
| Phosphorus | 1.1 | 1.2 (band 0.46902173913043477 to 1.6%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.5 | 1.5 (band 1 to 2%) | 100 |
| Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) | - | - | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 431.5 | 469 | 50 |
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.
Portion-control flag: 431.5 kcal/100g as fed with fat at 28.3% dry matter, above the reference band. High-energy foods need smaller portions.
Declared fortification: 8 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 Mononhydrate) 48 mg
- Manganese (Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate) 34 mg
- Copper (Copper (II) Sulphate Pentahydrate) 12 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.
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (79% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 15.8/20 |
| 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) - 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 (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.
100/100 · moderate — 1 checkable claim: 1 consistent, 0 contradicted.
Consistent with the label
- "formulated without: Gluten, Grain, Rice, Chicken or Eggs, Beet Pulp, Synthetic Preservatives and Additives" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
2 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.
Moderate: every checkable claim is consistent with the declared label.
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| The first ever high Meat/Fish, high fat (26%) and high calorific food, to be made in the UK (on page) | provenance | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| naturally hypoallergenic (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| formulated without: Gluten, Grain, Rice, Chicken or Eggs, Beet Pulp, Synthetic Preservatives and Additives (on page) | Free-from | consistent | Manufacturer assertion |
