Paleo Ridge Classic Bone Broth Lamb

Classic Bone Broth Lamb
This is sold as a broth/gravy, not as an everyday meal. The 1–100 rating applies to complete meals, so it isn't scored. Ingredient breakdown below.

Our verdict

Is Paleo Ridge Classic Bone Broth Lamb a good dog food?

This is a broth/gravy, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a broth/gravy should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.

Complementary frozen fresh broth / gravy for dogs of all life stages, with water, bone and apple cider vinegar as the main ingredients.

How we score

100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Why you might choose it

  • Single named animal protein: lamb.
  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.
  • High in protein: 90% protein on a dry-matter basis.

Why you might not

  • A broth-gravy, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 0% of the dry matter; carbohydrates dominate.
  • 100% 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 all lifestages
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Single named protein: lamb
  • Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, fish, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

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.

What the label tells us

  • The label lists 3 ingredients.
  • Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
  • Prints no ingredient quantities.
Why is this treat not scored?

Our 1 to 100 rating applies to complete diets, so treats and complementary foods are presented as what the label tells us rather than a number that would invite comparison with complete meals.

What should I look for on a treat label?

A short ingredient list, named animal sources instead of generic terms, and no artificial colours or preservatives. Printed quantities are a good transparency signal, though few treat labels provide them.

These points are derived from the published ingredient list, not a rating.

Contributions are rounded to two decimals, so they may not sum exactly to the subtotal. The full coefficient table is published on the methodology page.

This is not a complete diet, so the 1-100 rating does not apply to it. Read the recipe breakdown above as ingredient-quality context only.

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.

Safety: recall history

Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.

No recalls recorded in our database.

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.

86/100 · limited — 7 checkable claims: 6 consistent, 1 contradicted.

Contradicted by the label

  • "Low Fat" — the declared label says otherwise on low fat.

Consistent with the label

  • "Gluten Free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
  • "Pork Free" — supported by the declared pork data.
  • "Chicken Free" — supported by the declared chicken data.
  • "Beef Free" — supported by the declared beef data.
  • "Single Protein" — supported by the declared single protein data.
  • "Grain Free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

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

Limited: at least one claim contradicts the declared label, or a recent upheld ASA ruling applies.
