Our verdict

Is Orygo Duck Complete Dog Food – The Only One a good dog food?

We score it 63/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

Complete cold-pressed dry food for dogs of all life stages, with duck, chicken and alacha as the main ingredients.

How we score

Why you might choose it

  • Meat makes up an estimated 69% of the dry matter (86% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Prints a percentage for nearly every ingredient, so the recipe is fully auditable.

Why you might not

  • High in fat: 20% 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 as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists mackerel
  • Your dog avoids duck: the label lists duck
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 20.2% 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.

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.

Scored over 7 declared nutrients (combined weight 90); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

No nutritional additives section declared on the label.

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.

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.

100/100 · strong — 4 checkable claims: 4 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "made without cereals, gluten and meat flours" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "does not contain any added fat, grains, or gluten" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "Protein-rich" — supported by the declared high protein data.
  • "Grain-free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

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

Strong: at least three checkable claims, all consistent with the declared label, and no compliance cap.
