Treat complementary Clear label
Is Pedigree Tasty Minis Adult Dog Treats Chicken & Duck Chewy Cubes a good dog food?
This is a treat, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a treat should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.
95% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Complementary semi-moist dry treats for adult dogs, with cereals, meat and animal derivatives and chicken as the main ingredients.
Why you might choose it
- Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
- Declares energy content, which most labels omit.
Why you might not
- A treat, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
- 5 poor-graded ingredients make up about 82% of the recipe.
What the label tells us
- The label lists 8 ingredients.
- Uses generic terms (Chicken, Duck): the specific animal source is not stated.
- Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
- Prints quantities for 2 ingredients.
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.

|---|---|---|
| v2 | 23/100 | current |
| v1 | 23/100 | |
| v1.9 | 24/100 |
Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges
Not applicable to complementary food. FEDIAF reference ranges apply to complete diets.
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.
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (5% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 1/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) | 5/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Batch and date labelling).
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 marketing claims made on the pack and product page, and how much evidence sits behind them. We record the claims as stated; we do not assess whether they are true.
| Claim | Type | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|
| contain Omega 3 to help keep them fit for life (on page) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| vitamins to help their natural defences (on page) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| minerals like calcium to help give them strong bones (on page) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| Natural ingredients (on page) | Content | Manufacturer assertion |
| contain no artificial colours or flavours (on page) | Free-from | Manufacturer assertion |
| added Omega 3, vitamins and minerals (on page) | Nutrient | Manufacturer assertion |
Limited: at least one claim rests on manufacturer assertion alone.
