How we score

Why you might choose it

  • Scores 94, in the top quarter of fresh foods we track.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 68% of the dry matter (60% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.

Why you might not

  • High in fat: 34% fat on a dry-matter basis.
  • Needs freezer space and defrosting before serving.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Single named protein: fish
  • Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • You are limiting fat: 34.3% 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?

We work out the score out of 100 by combining several factors. The overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +9.2 points, and the meat content contributed +6.6 points. The processing format had a negative effect at -2.4, while being labelled nutritionally complete contributed +2.3. Together these give a final score of 94 out of 100.

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.

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

Declared fortification: 8 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin A 2,500 IU/kg
  • Vitamin E 30 mg/kg
  • Zinc (as Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate) 25 mg/kg
  • Iron (as Iron (II) Sulphate Monohydrate) 10 mg/kg
  • Manganese (as Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate) 2.5 mg/kg
  • Copper (as Copper (II) Sulphate Pentahydrate) 3 mg/kg
  • Iodine (as Calcium Iodate) 0.25 mg/kg
  • Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate) 5,000 mg/kg

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.

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.
