Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
- Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed

- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists dehydrated turkey protein
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists pollock
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein

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 | 39 | 42.4 (band 18.68478260869565 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 14.5 | 15.8 (band 5.709239130434781 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 3 | 3.3 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Calcium | 1.5 | 1.6 (band 0.5190217391304347 to 2.5%) | 100 |
| Phosphorus | 1.1 | 1.2 (band 0.41521739130434776 to 1.6%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.4 | 1.4 (band 1 to 2%) | 91.8 |
| Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) | - | - | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 382 | 415.2 | 100 |
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: 10 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A 12,865 IU/kg
- Vitamin D3 865 IU/kg
- Vitamin E 96 IU/kg
- Zinc (Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate & Zinc Chelate of Amino Acids Hydrate) 112 mg/kg
- Iron (Iron (II) Sulphate Monohydrate & Iron (II) Chelate of Protein Hydrolysates) 48 mg/kg
- Manganese (Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate) 18 mg/kg
- Copper (Copper (II) Sulphate Pentahydrate) 5 mg/kg
- Iodine (Calcium Iodate Anhydrous) 0.48 mg/kg
- Methionine 1,106 mg/kg
- L-Carnitine 48 mg/kg
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 (98% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 19.6/20 |
| 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 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Batch and date labelling).

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.
