Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
- Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists ocean fish
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists millet
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
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.

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 | 23 | 24.2 (band 18 to 40%) | 86.9 |
| Fat | 10 | 10.5 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 90.8 |
| Fibre | 2 | 2.1 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 91.4 |
| Calcium | 0.8 | 0.8 (band 0.5 to 2.5%) | 80.3 |
| Phosphorus | 0.4 | 0.4 (band 0.4 to 1.6%) | 71.1 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 2 | 2 (band 1 to 2%) | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 369 | 388.4 | 100 |
