Power Greens Recipe
This is sold as a topper, not as an everyday meal. The 1–100 rating applies to complete meals, so it isn't scored. Ingredient breakdown below.

Our verdict

Is Primal Pet Foods Power Greens Recipe a good dog food?

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

Complementary frozen fresh food topper for dogs of all life stages, with kale, cooking broth and celery seeds 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

  • A minimally processed format: kept frozen, not heat-treated.

Why you might not

  • A topper, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
  • High in fat: 20% fat on a dry-matter basis.
  • Low in protein: 20% protein on a dry-matter basis.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
  • Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, venison, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists fish oil
  • Your dog avoids pork: it is listed as an ingredient
  • Your dog avoids grain: the label lists sorghum
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 20.0% on a dry-matter basis is in the high band
  • You need more protein than this: 20.0% on a dry-matter basis is in the low 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.

What the label tells us

  • The label lists 19 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.

Final score

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.
