Our verdict

Is Nutrivet Croquettes Énergie sans céréales au poulet a good dog food?

We score it 61/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

Complete extruded dry food for adult dogs, with chicken, lamb and turkey as the main ingredients.

How we score

Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.

70% 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 32% of the dry matter (44% as fed).
  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.
  • High in protein: 42% protein on a dry-matter basis.

Why you might not

  • High in fat: 21% fat on a dry-matter basis.
  • 70% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.

Who is this food for?

Suits

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

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey
  • Your dog avoids lamb: the label lists lamb
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 21.0% 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.

Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated

Why this score?

This recipe achieves an overall score of 61 out of 100 based on several key factors. The inclusion of ingredients without printed percentages contributed -7.4 points, while the overall quality of the ingredient list added +7 points. Additionally, the processing format adjusted the score by -6.7, and being labelled nutritionally complete contributed +2.3 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.

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
Protein4246.4 (band 18 to 40%)100
Fat2123.2 (band 5.5 to 20%)100
Fibre22.2 (band 0.5 to 5%)92.8

Scored over 3 declared nutrients (combined weight 50); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.

Declared fortification: 8 nutritional additives on the label
  • vitamine A 28800 UI
  • vitamine D 1600 UI
  • fer (sulfate de fer (II)) 135 mg
  • cuivre (sulfate de cuivre pentahydraté) 12 mg
  • iode (iodure de potassium) 2 mg
  • manganèse (oxyde de manganèse) 28 mg
  • zinc (oxyde de zinc) 150 mg
  • sélénium (sélénite de sodium) 0.2 mg

Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture 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 · strong — 4 checkable claims: 4 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "Aliment complet pour chiens" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
  • "sans céréales" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "Fabriqué sans céréales" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "repas complet savoureux et équilibré" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.

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