Grain Free Adult
This is sold as a treat, not as an everyday meal. The 1–100 rating applies to complete meals, so it isn't scored. Ingredient breakdown below.

Our verdict

Is Natures Harvest Grain Free Adult a good dog food?

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

Complementary wet paté treats for dogs of all life stages, with chicken, peas and sweet potatoes as the main ingredients.

How we score

30% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Why you might choose it

  • Meat makes up an estimated 40% of the dry matter (65% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.

Why you might not

  • A treat, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
  • High in fat: 29% fat on a dry-matter basis.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Doesn't list beef, turkey, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon oil
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 29.1% 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.

What the label tells us

  • The label lists 18 ingredients.
  • Uses generic terms (Chicken): the specific animal source is not stated.
  • Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
  • Prints quantities for 12 ingredients.
Why is this treat not scored?

Our 1 to 100 rating applies to complete diets, so treats and complementary foods are presented as what the label tells us rather than a number that would invite comparison with complete meals.

What should I look for on a treat label?

A short ingredient list, named animal sources instead of generic terms, and no artificial colours or preservatives. Printed quantities are a good transparency signal, though few treat labels provide them.

These points are derived from the published ingredient list, not a rating.

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.

Not applicable to complementary food. FEDIAF reference ranges apply to complete diets.

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

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.

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 — 2 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "Packed with protein and calcium" — supported by the declared high protein data.
  • "Grain-Free Recipe – Ideal for dogs with grain sensitivities." — supported by the declared grain-free data.

1 further claim on file that we cannot check against the label.

Moderate: every checkable claim is consistent with the declared label.
