Our verdict

Is Nutriment Fresh Medallions - Chicken a good dog food?

We score it 87/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

Complete frozen fresh food for dogs of all life stages, with chicken, skin and chicken heart as the main ingredients.

How we score

28% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Why you might choose it

  • Scores 87, in the top quarter of fresh foods we track.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 82% of the dry matter (87% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.

Why you might not

  • High in fat: 39% fat on a dry-matter basis.
  • Needs freezer space and defrosting before serving.

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: 39.1% 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.

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.

NutrientAs fed (label)Dry matter (scored)Score
Protein14.638.5 (band 18 to 40%)100
Fat14.839.1 (band 5.5 to 20%)100
Fibre0.641.7 (band 0.5 to 5%)85.8

Scored over 3 declared nutrients (combined weight 50); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Declared fortification: 9 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vit A 5152 IU
  • Vit D3 515 IU
  • Vit E 172 mg
  • Iron 26 mg
  • Iodine 1.29 mg
  • Copper 2.6 mg
  • Manganese 0.86 mg
  • Zinc 43 mg
  • Selenium 0.1 mg

Medium confidence: the full five-part analysis is on file; where moisture was not declared it was estimated from the food type.

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.

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

  • "No grains or filler" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "grain-free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

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

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