our rating

Is Nutriwolds Herby Turkey Complete Working Dog a good dog food?

We score it 96/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

How we score

Why this score?

The recipe scores 96 out of 100. The meat content contributed +8.6 points, and the overall quality of the ingredient list added +8.1 points. Being labelled nutritionally complete gave a further +2.3 points, while the carbohydrate content deducted -0.5 points.

The Recipe score measures how attractive and transparent the declared ingredient list is. It is not, by itself, proof that the food is nutritionally appropriate for long-term feeding. The Nutritional and Evidence scores measure what we can verify towards that stronger claim.

Complete raw food for dogs of all life stages, with vegetables, turkey muscle meat and heart as the main ingredients.

Who is this food for?

Suits

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

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: it is listed as an ingredient
  • Your dog avoids beef: it is listed as an ingredient
  • Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey muscle meat
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists cod liver oil
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 40.0% 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. Use the homepage filter to find foods that fit your dog.

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
Protein14.457.6 (band 18 to 40%)100
Fat1040 (band 5.5 to 20%)100
Fibre0.20.8 (band 0.5 to 5%)74
Energy (kcal/100g)148592100

Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

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.

Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Additives declared, Batch and date labelling).

Safety: recall history

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.
